Ghost Towns Along the Highway, Kolmanskop, Namibia

Ghost Towns Along the Highway

By John Cougar Mellencamp

Ghost towns along the highway

Guess no one wants to live around here any more

Ghost towns along the highway

Listen to the wind blow through the

Cracks on the boarded-up doors

But our love keeps on moving

To the nearest faraway place

I guess no one believes in

Ghost towns along the highway

Ghost towns along the main highway

Perhaps it's the crossroads of another time

Maybe it's too lonely out here

But I can hear the voices of misery cryin'

Some day these highways will all disappear

But our love keeps on moving

And the wind keeps blowin' us around

I guess no one believes in

Ghost towns along the highway

Ghost towns along the main highway

Ghost towns along the highway

So many people used to call this place home

Ghost towns along the highway

I guess folks they're just bound to roam

But our love keeps on moving

To the nearest faraway place

I guess no one believes in

Ghost towns along the highway

Ghost towns along the main highway
