"Haunted Hometown" lyrics

"Haunted Hometown"

There's cobwebs hanging off the courthouse clock
And the street lights keep on blinking on and off
Your shadow's there 'round every bend
I think I see your face and then
You disappear and I'm alone again

Girl, your memory's everywhere
It's like your spirit's in the air
I hear you whisper in the wind somehow
I pass the place where our love died
And in the darkness of the night
I'm just a ghost with chains that hold me down
Like a dead man walking around
This haunted hometown

Our favorite little spot, we had the best of times
The jukebox plays our song and you come back to life
It's killing me, it tears me up
All that whiskey ain't enough
'Cause you can't drown an everlasting love

Girl, your memory's everywhere
It's like your spirit's in the air
I hear you whisper in the wind somehow
I pass the place where our love died
And in the darkness of the night
I'm just a ghost with chains that hold me down
Like a dead man walking around
This haunted hometown

There ain't no moving out or moving on
You've got a hold on me even though you're gone

Girl, your memory's everywhere
It's like your spirit's in the air
I hear you whisper in the wind somehow
I pass the place where our love died
And in the darkness of the night
I'm just a ghost with chains that hold me down
Like a dead man walking around
Like a dead man walking around

There's cobwebs hanging off the courthouse clock
(Haunted hometown)
And the street lights keep on blinking on and off
(This haunted hometown)
