Richard Melvin Brown - The Ghost of Lonesome Town Lyrics

Everyday's 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 colour of home has a hold on my soul and 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 super natural silvery canine
I've got a ticket to ride on a hound dog who's known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town

On early morning Lonely Street my heads up in a cloud
While my aching heart moves slowly through the crowd
I'm missing my sweetheart and I'm missing 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 super natural silvery canine
I've got a ticket to ride on a hound dog who's known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town

On a phantom hound Leaving Lonesome Town drinking 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 super natural silvery canine
I've got a ticket to ride on a hound dog who's known as The Ghost of Lonesome Town
