Social Distortion - Ghost Town Blues Lyrics

Ever since my baby left me
Y'know this ghost town ain't no fun no more
She stole my heart away from me
And then she dropped it on the floor

My outsides are tough, hellbent
Leather overcoat of what was once a man
But inside's a little broken hearted boy
Whose feelings he cannot stand

I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues

I feel like an undertaker dressed in black
But no one left for dead
She left me in a heartbeat
And now there's no one left to sleep in my bed

Where laughs and cries and memories were once
Now lie tumbleweeds and dust
And an empty graveyard feeling
That began once just as a childhood lust

I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues

My Pontiac spits back feelings of contempt
Out the exhaust
A hundred miles an hour down a highway
Well, I'm beat up and I'm lost

She's gone and I know it
Like an outlaw, she ran for the hills
I'll start a brand new life with a new girl
And those same old ghost town thrills

I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues

What is the hook with Social D? I am trying to understand what is loved about them and in 20 years i havent diacovered it.

Fuck one of the greatest bands to ever do it ..

Daddys song 90s u dont no bitch

if you ever get a chance to see social d or mike play - count your nuts cause you need to go to that show no matter what - monster

Best album of the 90's

One of their most underrated songs ever

A few years ago I went to a show at the 9:30 club in DC...it was Lucero & Social D,between sets I was at the bar upstairs all the way in the back of the club (close to the rooms the bands hang out in) & Mike Ness walked right by me,he was like 2 feet away from me tops & I gotta say I never knew how short of a fella he is....now that I think about it most of the famous or semi-famous musicians I've met over the years are all short (even Lemmy) I'm 6ft so it's not like I'm a giant,anyway 🕺🏼🚬🍻💉🥄🥃💊💰☠️

Pig Ford dam Lucero and sd you lucky son of a bitch. must have been epic ..

I saw them in a club in Lancaster PA with Lucero opening. Crazy hot in that place.

There isn't a bad song on this album

Ever since my baby left me you
Know this ghost town ain't no
Fun no more she stole my heart
Away from me and then she
Dropped it on the floor my
Outside's tough, hellbent
Leather overcoat of what was
Once a man but inside's a little
Broken hearted boy whose
Feelings he cannot stand.
[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues
I feel like an undertaker dressed
In black but no one left for dead
She left me in a heartbeat
And now there's no one left to
Sleep in my bed where laughs and
Cries and memories were once
Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust
And an empty graveyard
Feeling that began once just as a
Childhood lust
[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues
My pontiac spit back feelings of
Contempt out the exhaust
A hundred miles an hour down a
Highway. Well I'm beat up and I'm
Lost she's gone and I know it,
Like an outlaw she ran for the
Hills and I'll start a brand new
Life with a new girl and these
Same old ghost town thrills.
[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues.

SOCIAL DISTORTION RULEZ

senacional,, uma das melhores Bandas de todos os tempos

Dat harmonica

Best sex song right here

I love this song

i dont understand why people like this band... it seems so boring

+GreenFire1212 You might be too young to understand. I grew up on punk rock, and Mike Ness did too. This band is great, and I love to go to a Nofx show and see fat mike wearing a SD tee. It's OC punk rock

+GreenFire1212 OK BIEBER!

if you think this band is boring, than you must've lived a charmed life, completely devoid of heartbreak, struggle and even true joy....my condolences

+LivingBrutality He turned vegan? Doesn't look like.

Go see them live & I can guarantee you that the last thing you'll be is bored

Fuck yeah one of my favorite social d songs
