They were dueling pistols in the square
There were stunning girls with wild hair
The gold rush brought 'em in from out of state

A John Wayne scene in a hopping bar
Where the people sang and played some cards
All the cowgirls took their whiskey straight

But the gold ran out
And the well went dry
So they saddled up
And they said goodbye

My heart is a ghost town
Where all the shops been closed
And I don't want to live here all alone
My heart is a ghost town
The worst place you could break down
The loneliest streets you've ever known
Woah, woah

I could've sworn I saw you there
Just standing on the corner where
There used to be a place that I called home

As soon as I got settled in
My dreams were scattered in the wind
Now it's time to face the facts I know

My heart is a ghost town
Where all the shops been closed
And I don't want to live here all alone
My heart is a ghost town
The worst place you could break down
The loneliest streets you've ever known

Woah, woah
Woah, woah

Some days people come to visit me
Relive a piece of history
Some old flame that burnt out years ago
They take a picture to remember me
Get what they want and then they leave
'Cause when the day is done they all go home
'Cause my heart is a ghost town
Where all the shops been closed
And I don't want to live here all alone
My heart is a ghost town
The worst place you could break down
The loneliest streets you've ever known

Woah, woah
Woah, woah
