Ghost Town Lyrics

Ghost Town   (Suzi Ragsdale)

In the diner, on the corner

Where I used to play draw poker

And drink warm beer ‘til I ran out of quarters

For the Laundr-O-Mat cross the street

Folding still damp sheets

Washing myself clean of lost lovers

I live in a ghost town

They’re floating all around

They might haunt me night or day

They might scare you away

I travel across the sea

They follow me

Jump out and say boo

I think they’re lonesome too … oooooooooo

Late night picnics in the park

Stumbling home in the dark

Telling fairytales, fantasies and lies

Making up love stories, love songs

Making believe there’s nothing wrong

Making love until the day it dies

To live on in a ghost town

Floating all around

Bound to haunt me night and day

Bound to scare you away

I’m present as I can be

But my past is part of me

Whenever I sing an old song

Someone’s singing along … oooooooooooo

People and places and things

They come and they go away

Though my heart and my soul have wings

Still and after my dying day

I’ll live on in a ghost town

Floating all around

I might haunt you, night or day

I might take your breath away

Ain’t nothing that you can do

Your past is part of you

Whenever you sing an old song

I might be singing along … oooooooooooooooooooooo
