Ghost Town

Kentucky winters are the coldest I've seen When the lights are off in the factory If the roads are good, we'll all drive down to Tennessee To find some work and some property The kids will be fine, they can just change schools They won't talk back cause they know the rules Who needs roots when it's hard just to find food It's a ghost town, I'm nobody's fool The summers are alright The springs are all still beautiful When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold And you wonder why a town like this would die Just to live again Kentucky winter brings a man to his knees Cause a frost can kill when it's time to seed My mother says I can catch on with industry Or just skip town and join the army To leave here there would prove the others right And I don't turn my back without a fight A man needs roots to show him wrong from right It's a ghost town, I'll stay here tonight Cause the summers are alright The springs are all still beautiful When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold And you wonder why a town like this would die Just to live again Apparition rising up for all to see Blinding vision of a town that used to be Wind blows through me like it's got something to say The spirit won't die, but it might just fade away The summers are alright The springs are beautiful When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold And you wonder why a town like this would die Just to live again
