upside, downside, towing the line
too many tears for me to leave behind
life in a ghost town
hot wind, cold wind, blowing away
nothing much here but I've got to stay
right in a ghost town
life in a ghost town...
inside, outside, waiting in dread
burning that bridge while it's still ahead
life in a ghost town
smart man, dull man, fortunate son
kicking up dust where the river runs
right through a ghost town
life in a ghost town...
waiting all year for an hour of rain
more days here than a man can name
life in a ghost town
cruising the shelves in an empty store
every last thing I've been looking for
is right in a ghost town
life in a ghost town...
upside, downside, towing the line
too many tears for me to leave behind
life in a ghost town
watch now, wait now, listen and learn
got to be ready when they all return
right to a ghost town
