Ghost Town
Wandering Souls in the Desert Night
Lyrics
I know a place, it's far from home
I know of a location that's distant from my usual residence
Out in the desert, where coyotes roam
In a desert area where wild coyotes wander freely
Give me a front porch and a guitar
I desire a front porch accompanied by a guitar
Give me some company under the stars
I crave the presence of some companionship beneath the night sky
Give me some cold beer and a desert view
I want some cold beer while admiring the view of the desert
If you sit here all day
Spending prolonged time here leads to consuming a few drinks
You'll knock back a few
It implies a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere
I'm in a ghost town
Expressing a feeling of being in an abandoned or desolate town
Not sure where I'll sleep
Uncertain about where to rest or spend the night
One thing I do know
But assured that it's an untamed and unrestrained environment
It's wild and free
Asserting the liberating and unrestricted nature of the place
Don't make me explain it
Reluctance to provide an explanation as it might not be comprehended
You won't understand
Anticipating a lack of understanding from others
This is my place
Declaring ownership or a sense of belonging to the place
And this is our land
Emphasizing a collective ownership or attachment to the land
I took a short walk
Experiencing a brief moment of tranquility
I found me some peace
Feeling a sense of inner calmness or serenity
I looked to the west
Looking towards the western horizon
I dropped to my knees
Symbolic act of humility or prayer, seeking guidance or solace
The sky was painted
Observing a sky adorned with diverse colors
With every color I know
Mountains shining brightly in golden hues
The mountains were golden
Sensing the onset of windy weather
The wind starts to blow
Feeling a reluctance to depart from this beautiful scenery
But why can't I stay here?
Questioning the necessity of leaving this place
Why must I leave?
Expressing a sentiment of reluctance or sadness about departing
Now with a ghost town behind me
Departing from the deserted town triggers a sense of mourning
It's time that I grieve
Time to grieve or lament over leaving this location
I'm leaving a ghost town
Leaving behind the deserted town after having good rest
I got some good sleep
Having experienced satisfactory rest or sleep
And now that I'm rested
Feeling spiritually liberated or unrestrained after rest
My soul's wild and free
Confidently affirming an unexplainable sense of freedom
Don't make me explain it
Reiteration of the difficulty in explaining this feeling
You won't understand
Expecting a lack of comprehension from others regarding this sensation
This is my place
Reasserting ownership or attachment to the place
And this is our land
Reaffirming collective ownership or a shared connection to the land
Don't make me explain it
Repetition of the difficulty in explaining this feeling
You won't understand
Anticipating a lack of understanding from others
This is my place
Emphasizing personal belonging or connection to the place
And this is our land
Emphasizing a collective ownership or attachment to the land
