Ghost Town. by Zach Bryan Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2020

[Intro]
Yeah, I want it to sound like empty and hollow...
Like that, just like that

[Verse]
Well, my eyes are wide open
And my heart is in ocean
That all these bridges I burned
In my past seem to float
And every lie I've ever told
Goes up in flames on a Sunday after church

Yet no one in this town seems to remember my name
After all the things we've been through
Sneakin' jack and football games
But it's all the same
No one evеr changes in a place like this

Wеll, I needed that woman like a bird needs a nest
I was my own accompany on this lifelong quest
A mind to find the reason behind
Why God put me on this earth
[Chorus]
Somebody get me out
Of this ghost town that I'm in
Nobody will ever know
If I'm comin' back again
Somebody get me out
Of this ghost town that I'm in
Nobody will ever know
If I'm comin' back again

[Verse]
Well, I went and jointed the navy
Just for my daddy's sake
So he'd stop tellin' all his friends I was his one mistake
And he told me he was proud
For the first time in a long time yesterday

And I need my mama like musicians need a dream
Yeah, she told me I'd be famous
And all the girls would scream
For her son up in the lights
I get so mad I fight
She's not with me here today

Who is this big God to make
A busted boy like me
All my imperfections are apart of His carpentry
And I hope I get to ask Him
Why He put me through all this pain one day
[Outro]
Somebody get me out
Of this ghost town that I'm in
Nobody will ever know
If I'm comin' back again
Somebody get me out
Of this ghost town that I'm in
Nobody will ever know
If I'm comin' back again
Nobody will ever know
I'm never comin' home again
