Ghosttown Songtext
von Bob Wayne

It was a ghost town, yeah down by the river
Well just about twenty miles past county line
I don′t remember, exactly how we got there
But I ain't ever goin′ to forget the day that ghost town tried

We pulled up to a filling station
Right next door was a hotel and saloon
"Well, let's get crazy" I said to the boys then
We pulled out our guns and started shooting at the moon

We got lost in North Dakota
You know me, I wouldn't lie
When that ghost town tried to kill me
You ain′t gonna believe who saved our lives
Hell, I don′t even believe who saved our lives

I started gambling, and I caught a cheater
I pulled out my gun and shot him right between the eyes
He didn't fall down, hell, he didn′t even start bleeding
Well, that's when I noticed there was something definitely wrong


All the barmaids had turned to demons
And the whiskey in my glass turned as cold as ice
I started praying, the boys they started screaming
We all got up, started running for our lives

We got lost in North Dakota
You know me, I wouldn′t lie
When that ghost town tried to kill me
You ain't gonna believe who saved our lives
Just hold on, you′re 'bout to find out who saved our lives

Well this next part may seem kinda crazy
But I swear on my pappy's grave that it′s the truth
We were surrounded in this little prairy
When the sky turned an awful wicked blue

There were noises kinda like a train wreck
I couldn′t help but think this day would be my last
Then the clouds, well, they started changing
And out from them came the ghost of Johnny Cash!

We got lost in North Dakota
You know me, I wouldn't lie
When that ghost town tried to kill me
The ghost of Johnny Cash saved our lives
That′s right, the ghost of Johnny Cash came down and saved all our lives!
