Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You see the pictures in school books
When people on horses left a place
Quick as lightning as skies turned gray
Boy now your actions got me thinking this way
Don't come calling when you open that door
[Chorus]
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
Haunt you in your dreams at night
Seal those windows nice and tight
Ain't no preachers in these parts
Hope you ain't scared of the dark
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
[Verse 2]
Couldn't keep your boots on your feet
Now the dust is all you're gonna find
Tumbleweeds where love used to be
Should've thought about that yesterday
Don't expect a lantern in the window
[Chorus]
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
Haunt you in your dreams at night
Seal those windows nice and tight
Ain't no preachers in these parts
Hope you ain't scared of the dark
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
[Bridge]
Every room gonna echo like an empty saloon
Every floorboard gonna creak out of tune
You can ride through this place alone
But baby, I'm already gone
[Chorus]
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
Haunt you in your dreams at night
Seal those windows nice and tight
Ain't no preachers in these parts
Hope you ain't scared of the dark
Gonna be a ghost town when you get home
Yeah, a ghost town when you get home
