Lyrics

THE GHOST OF LONESOME TOWN

Verse/Chorus 1:

Everydays a blue day in this big old lonesome town a million nameless faces and me
And the grass sure ain't no deeper green outside the county line
The color of home has a hold on my soul & a lasso round my heart
This country boy is the loneliest fool in Lonesome Town
But before you can say that I?m wearing the face of a clown, look around
I?m hugging the heart of a Supernatural Silvery Canine
I?ve got a ticket to ride on a hounddog who?s known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town

Verse/Chorus 2:

On early morning Lonely Street my heads up in a cloud
While my aching heart moves slowly through the crowd
I?m missin? my sweetheart and I?m missin? my simple life
And I miss my dog bojangles as he meets me at the door
This country boy is the loneliest fool in Lonesome Town
But before you can say that I?m wearing the face of a clown, look around
I?m hugging the heart of a Supernatural Silvery Canine
I?ve got a ticket to ride on a hounddog who?s known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town

Optional > Key Change (half-step)

Verse/Chorus 3:

On a phantom hound Leaving Lonesome Town drinkin' hope and eating crow
I?ll be prayin? she?ll have mercy on my sorry soul
And when I finally stumble down from this tired old silver hound
I?ll be the one who?s wearing wounded on a turquoise tinted heart
This country boy is the loneliest fool in Lonesome Town
But before you can say that I?m wearing the face of a clown, look around
I?m hugging the heart of a Supernatural Silvery Canine
I?ve got a ticket to ride on a hounddog who?s known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town
