[Verse 1]
Dust clouds creeping, shadows in the breeze,
Empty streets whistle, no one left to please.
Storefronts boarded, dreams locked in chains,
Echoes of the past, they still call my name.
Barbed wire fences, they hum a sad tune,
Underneath a blood-orange, desolate moon.
Every step's a memory, weight on my chest,
A ghost town anthem, ain't no place to rest.
[Chorus]
Ghost town, where the winds still howl,
Faded signs, and the wolves on the prowl.
Ain't no going back, can't stay, can't run,
This is where the dark meets the light of the sun.
[Verse 2]
Wagon wheels busted, rolling nowhere fast,
Time's a tumbleweed, ain't no future, just the past.
Broken jukebox hummin’ songs of regret,
Whiskey on the altar, prayers I forget.
Desert snakes slither through the cracks in my soul,
Gold rush promises, now a blackened hole.
Took the high road, but it led me to the dirt,
Carved my name in the dust, every line still hurts.
[Bridge]
Old clock ticking, but it don’t strike twelve,
Shadows in the corners, secrets never tell.
I’m a lone rider, but my horse went lame,
The town’s got my heart, but it don’t know my name.
