"Ghost Towns" -- an original song by Nashville songwriter/lyricist Greg Halvorson

My goal here is to post an eclectic array of songs in many genres and styles, some, perhaps, a style of their own. Much of my material is rooted in western legend, the images and experiences of pre-modernism. Anyone who has ever traveled across the remote mining towns of Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Colorado can relate... Ghost Towns, a song inspired by, well, GHOSTS, is one of these... **All Rights reserved.**... Copywrite City. Enjoy.

“Ghost Towns”

Gonna write about ghost towns better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Gonna write about ghost towns better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Better be haunted, better be scared, better have two feet in the air
Gonna write about ghost towns better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts

Gonna write about ghost towns, better be dead to the world
Gonna write about ghost towns, better have lost your girl
Better know tumbleweeds inside out, better have lost your road and route
Better have left your life behind, better have slept in a gold-less mine

Gonna write about ghost towns better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Gonna write about ghost towns better sow more than oats
Better have lead in your blood, better toss diamonds in the flood
Better when it thunders crack a smile, better be down on the country mile

Gonna write about ghost towns better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Gonna write about ghost towns, better cut more than throats
Better have two sticks in the fire, better have zombies in the wire
Better have no escape plan, better think Goshen is the Promised Land

Gonna write about ghost towns, better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Gonna write about ghost towns, better sow more than oats
Better run faster than the law, better drive steel, cold and raw
Better when it thunders crack a smile, better be down on the country mile

Gonna write about ghost towns, better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Gonna write about ghost towns, better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts
Better be haunted, better be scared, better have two feet in the air
Gonna write about ghost towns, better know somethin’ ‘bout ghosts

Gonna write about ghost towns, better know somethin’,
better know somethin’, better know somethin’.... about ghosts
