lyrics

THIS TOWN (GHOST TOWN)
©2014 Rich Mattson

This town - is becoming like a ghost town
Me and my baby, we go and walk around
And take pictures of the rotting houses
Not much left
To this ghost town

This town - used to be such a fun town
Crazy little kids, playing and running ‘round
Now they sit at home smoking cigarettes
And they’ve left
This ghost town

There’s an old lady living on the corner
And she still keeps her grounds in order
While everybody else moves on
She never will...

This town - was built upon some precious minerals
And they’re coming, to dig them up!
Not tomorrow and it’s not today
I think I’ll stay..and wait and see..
What happens to this ghost town
