Lovelock's a faded post card
The scene's a dusty afternoon
A musty motel room, a junk yard
An old guitar and a brand new tune
We were on the road in Nevada
Never traveled there before
Made our fortune up in Canada
Lost our love and so much more
Like a ghost town - imagine
We've seen some better days
Like a ghost town - imagine
Maybe we'll even stay
We're out one night drinking
And up 'till way past dawn
Felt the pain of a bitter sting
When I awoke and you were gone
I knew you'd go on with him
To drink some more you said
Out past the seventh line
I wished that I was dead
I followed the tracks of his old truck
Down along the gravel line
I pulled up along side the cab
Shot that old 45 of mine
I wonder what life might have been
Had I joined the drillin' gang
Would I be buyin' time in Reno
Or simply praying for little rain.
Like a ghost town - imagine
We've seen some better days
Like a ghost town - imagine
Maybe we'll even stay
Lovelock's a faded post card
The scene a dusty afternoon
But I remember a musty motel room
An old guitar and a brand new tune
Like a ghost town - imagine
We've seen some better days
Like a ghost town - imagine
Maybe we'll even stay
Like a ghost town
Like a ghost town
Like a ghost town
