Populated Ghost Town

[Verse 1]
Main Street is busy, traffic is slow The diner is packed, nowhere to go Kids on bikes, old men on the bench But inside my chest is a tightening wrench They say a ghost town is windows and dust Tumbleweeds rolling and iron turning rust But I'm walking through a crowd and I'm all alone Since you hung up the telephone

[Chorus]
It's a Populated Ghost Town Since you let me down Every face I see is a blur of gray Since you went away There's noise and there's life in this city square But without you, baby, there's nobody there Just a hollow echo, a silent sound Living in a Populated Ghost Town

[Verse 2]
I see couples laughing, holding hands Making their future, making plans I'm just a phantom passing through Haunted by the memory of me and you The lights are on but the spirit is dead Only your voice inside of my head

[Chorus]
It's a Populated Ghost Town Since you let me down Every face I see is a blur of gray Since you went away There's noise and there's life in this city square But without you, baby, there's nobody there Just a hollow echo, a silent sound Living in a Populated Ghost Town

[Bridge]
Maybe I should move, maybe I should stay But the feeling won't go away Haunted by a living ghost The one I loved the most

[Pedal Steel Solo - Crying sound]

[Outro]
So many people. So lonely. Ghost town.
