What should I do with the lyrics of Ghosts?
First Version
Ghosts
The Smoke Shop boys are cooling down on the street tonight
in their best saturday night clothes
they were playing pool in the one place in town
where no decent woman would ever go
The county folk have all parked their cars
and on saturday night what they do for fun
stand out on the corner and watch the town go by
The light shines through them because they're 20 years gone
CHORUS
And I'm walking through the ghost of this old town
It's saturday night, this street should be packed
not a live person can be found
And I'm walking down this street that's filled with ghosts
It's just a picture left over in my mind and somehow it's still home
And there's a ghost of a bridge over the river
and boards on the door of most everywhere else
Robertson Parris, where my grandma worked
there are no more clothes there on the shelf
The buses still run down to Charleston
but no one ever goes
The businesses here can never open again
cause there's a Wal-Mart down the road
CHORUS
My great uncle Tater's grocery store
was behind those boards over there
And the Roxy closed ten years ago
we got DVDs so we don't care
I take my Smoke Shop chili and a bottle of dew
and I eat while I watch TV
There's this little town that's 20 years gone
just the ghosts and me
CHORUS
Second Version
Ghosts

and on saturday night what they do for fun
stand out on the corner and watch the town go by
The light shines through them because they're 20 years gone
CHORUS
And I'm walking through the ghost of this old town

not a live person can be found
And I'm walking down this street that's filled with ghosts
It's just a picture left over in my mind and somehow it's still home
And there's a ghost of a bridge over the river
and boards on the door of most everywhere else
Robertson Parris, where my grandma worked
there are no more clothes there on the shelf
My great uncle Tater's grocery store
was behind those boards over there
And the Roxy closed nearly ten years ago
we got DVDs so we don't care
CHORUS
I take my Smoke Shop chili and a bottle of dew
and I eat while I watch TV
There's this little town that's 20 years gone
just the ghosts and me
CHORUS
