Lyrics
Ghost of a Town Jamey Darnold Ghost of a town, It narrows down To when the sun sets, and old we get Everyone gone, it don't belong Its quiet now, ghost of a town ghost, of a town Everyone's old, nothings new Ghost of a town, dried up and through Windmill no wind, old church no sin Age of life, now in the wind know one around, forgotten town Pulse is slow, nowhere to go with no, where to go So sorry to say, it's all gone away Its Back to the earth weeds and dirt Missing life blood, turned to mud Streets no names, land no claims Roads are slow, broken windows No one around, no one found, don't, here a sound This town is your town Theirs no need to hide Ghost of a town, you've got your pride No one around, this lost town Never knew, children all grew Rich to poor, nothing more, To stand tall, it's your call, It's all, Up to you Ghost of a town

What a great song! It surely strikes a note in my heart my heart, as I recognize the feeling of things around you drying out, while you grow older. Very nice tune and you perform it so well. Singer/songwriting at its' very best!

I came over to tell you of a new cover is up on my page and check yours out and found another hypnotically soothing track in your inimitable style ! That guitar is so soothing along with your gentle vocals . The lyrics are fantastic and describe a ghost town perfectly . I was imagining a western ghost town in a movie with tumbleweed ! Absolutely fantastic . Now I could never perform songs like yours you have a unique sound .
