Ethan Martucci
Ghost Town

Was a miner came for gold and industry
He looked like me, he looked like me
And one day high up on the continent's divide
His eyes grew wide, his eyes went wild

Was an immigrant from old forgotten lands
He looked like me, he looked like me
And every day he went a-working with his hands
To build his dream, to build his dream

Was a preacher left his wife across the pass
He looked like me, he looked like me
He said he saw two demons lurking in these streets
Pride and Greed, Pride and Greed, yeah

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you light up these streets with poker and champagne
Or will this ghost town fade away?

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you light up these streets like Dr. Holiday
Or will this ghost town fade away?

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you light up these streets from Denver to Ouray
Or will this ghost town fade away?

Was a hooker who was every man's reward
Named Melody, named Melody
But when the sickness broke she labored in the ward
She was their queen, she was their queen

If we go walking down these old forgotten streets
Will we believe? Will we believe?
If we go running down the road of history
What will we keep? What will we keep?

If there's a word that you can whisper but not speak
Save it for me, save it for me
If there's a lesson you have learned but just can't teach
Save it for me, save it for me

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you light up these streets with luminescent dreams
Or will this ghost town fade away?

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you light up these streets with epic tales of bravery
Or will this ghost town fade away?

Will you come this way?
Will you be the one, the one who stays?
Will you dig down so deep to where our culture sleeps
Or will this ghost town fade away?
