Sitting at the station
Where the trains rolled by
Chill in the air as the tired sun lay down
He thought of how this town had been
As he gazed at the church that would see no sin
And so many secrets buried deep underground

The picture hall now a haunted house
Full of the ghosts of Jeremiah's past
The old train yard where they had their first kiss

Long hot days and sweet cool nights
That river flowed right through their lives
But summer ain't the same
In a place like this

They'd gather at the Goose and Hound
to wash the dry day down
Where the stories came and went
and some were true
Of rodeos, musters, cattle rustlers
Carpet baggers and two bit hustlers
And travel weary souls just passing through

Then they stole the water,
In the middle of a drought
Big money came drove the farmers out.
And the Mines dug it up,
then let them down
Now it's Jeremiah's ghost town

There's old man Pete at the general store
The Wainwright's, always open door
And their dozen dirty barefoot toe haired kids

And the tin roof house where he was born
Just rust and dust and so forlorn
But her spirit still lives on in this old town

Well you can't see the future with your head in the sand
All these people never fit their plans
They took everything away and washed their hands
Of Jeremiah's ghost town
