Ghost Town

Words and Music By Anne Stott

It’s said ghost towns are empty so why do I find
I’m looking over my shoulder and reading into signs
Worn out store fronts and run down saloons
Someone still lives here the question is who

Footsteps they echo from I don’t know where
Stone faces on porch fronts just sit and stare
Will I make it out alive I guess no one ever does
It’s a battle to the death to live beyond what was

The Laundromat’s radio plays a love song
To broken hearted washers waiting for some
Unforeseen change to blow through their town
But that stoplight’s flashed yellow more years than they count

So I watch the spin cycle and I watch my back
For a shoot out, a drag race, a posse’s attack
Will I make it out alive I guess no one ever does
It’s a battle to the death to live beyond what was

This town’s here for a reason but reasons run dry
Now ghosts are walking main street and they’re the reason why
One young girl puts in her four loads
With highlights and mini-skirt she’s still got some hope

We’re all walking with the dead while every day we pay
To buy the illusion that our ghosts aren’t here to stay
Will I make it out alive I guess no one ever does
It’s a battle to the death to live beyond what was
