Lyrics
Ghost Town
David Turner & Dennis Nardantonio
Hanging 'round this old town falling down all around you and me
Just a ghost of the place - faced with the bitter taste of reality
Hoping that tomorrow we can borrow from the remnants of what used to be
It's a ghost town now - we can't protect
There's a ghost of a chance that we can resurrect it
The course has been set and we can't correct it
Move on - it's already gone -they just can't accept it
It's so strange how things change- things were fine back when this town was in its prime
Now it's plain that those who remain just look back to that better time
It seems no one dreams like before any more - it's such an uphill climb
The future's somewhere out there farther than we can see
They packed up our opportunities - sent them overseas
We can't go first class - but a car filled with gas waits for you and me
It's frustrating just awaiting the finality
Awaiting the finality
Still hanging 'round this old town falling down all around you and me
Just a ghost of the place - now we face the taste of reality
So we swallow our sorrow, pack our bags, face tomorrow - that's how it's gonna to be . . .
That's how it's gonna be
