Ghost of a Town (feat. Bart Topher)

In the year of 1890
They're leavin' their farms behind
For a future, all bright and shiny
And dreams that they're hopin' to find

Decades go by, as industrial towns
Rise up from the ground overnight
But a fast-changin' world can shut factories down
So you hold on with all of your might

The highway runs around it
And the world just passes by it
As one by one, every last light burns out
Leaving behind the ghost of a town

The changes can happen so slowly
You tell yourself everything's fine
But deep down inside, there's a knowing
Of the gradual state of decline

The young ones, they don't remember
The way it all used to be
For the old ones, the past just grows dimmer
And there's less that remains to be seen

The highway runs around it
And the world just passes by it
As one by one, every last light burns out
Leaving behind the ghost of a town

Everything under the sun
Is born for dyin'
Everything under the sun
Is born for dyin'
Everything under the sun
Is born for dyin'
Everything under the sun
Is born for dyin'

The highway runs around it
And the world just passes by it
As one by one, every last light burns out
Leaving behind the ghost of a town

The highway runs around it
And the world just passes by it
As one by one, every last light burns out
Leaving behind the ghost of a town
