The Graveyard Ghost (Guitar and Vocals Only)

Muley Graves said he felt like a graveyard ghost in The movie and book, The Grapes Of Wrath, because everyone was movin on for greener pastures to places like California. I thought that line would make for a great songtitle so I wrote this song around that for modern times.

There`s lead in the water, there`s blood in the street.
The river`s on fire, its a shameful sight to see.
The factories and churches are boarded up and closed.
The only one left is the graveyard ghost.

This town has long since up and died.
Corruption and decay led to it`s suicide.
The steets are now littered with skeleton bones.
The only one left is the graveyard ghost.

It lurks with a lantern through the streets at night.
Broken bottles and dirty needles all along the wayside.
Weeping for lost and irredeemable souls.
The only one left is the graveyard ghost.

Towers still stand and pierce through he clouds.
Thunder and lightning, shake the dead in their shrouds.
Vacant and empty they stand as tombstones.
The only one left is the graveyard ghost.

Even the rats in the alleys have all disappeared.
The apparition groans but theirs no one to hear.
All the dead lay in rows under granite and stone.
And the only one left is the graveyard ghost.

Everyone`s gone, now forever alone.
Why it wont leave nobody knows.
It just carry`s its cross like the ghost of Tom Joad.
The only one left is the graveyard ghost.
Yeah the only one left is the graveyard ghost.
