Ghost Town | Willie Tate | audio version

Description

I wrote “Ghost Town” after going through the hardest season of my life. It’s about loss, memory, and how a place can feel completely empty when the person you love is gone.
It’s not just about heartbreak—it’s about everything that lingers after: the echoes, the silence, the weight of what used to be.

...ever been haunted by memories or tried to move on from something that broke you ...

GHOST TOWN

V1:
It ain’t cause the interstate was built 10 years ago
No one takes the river valley highway anymore
It ain’t cause the factory shut down in ’94
For sale, for rent, for lease in every storefront glass window

CH:
I’m living in a ghost town
Cause she walked out
And she left me here alone
Can’t drive around, can’t go to town, can’t even sit at home
Without seeing every memory
In every sight and sound
I’m haunted by the roots that that girl
Pulled up from the ground
Now I’m living in a ghost town

V2:
It ain’t cause the family farms got sold by next of kin
For half of what they’re worth to pay back the debt they’re in
We used to lay down in those pastures and talk about your dreams
Now that you’re gone there might as well be no one here but me

Bridge:
It ain’t cause the population goes on every year
It’s cause the population’s minus one without you here

Howell/Vogel/Morris
