Armstrong - Hometown Ghosts Lyrics

My baby works the late shift, gets the last train home at night
Oh I want to pick her up man, Oh I want to treat her right
But my car got repo'd, couldn't make those payments on time
Now my baby walks home freezing and God it tears me down alright

I'm a fire
I'm a killing
I'm a liar
I'm a villain
My baby cries
In the kitchen
For the life
I should have given

My baby is a dancer, always spinning round the house
But since my job got up and left me, she doesn't hear the music now
And I can see us getting older, with every line around her mouth
She says babe "we ain't ever getting out of this one, we'll be ghosts in our hometown"

I'm a fire
I'm a killing
I'm a liar
I'm a villain
My baby cries
In the kitchen
For the life
I should have given
Oh what a life
I have given
Oh is this life?
Are we living?

We ain't ever getting out, we'll be ghosts in our hometown
We ain't ever getting out, we'll be ghosts in our hometown
We ain't ever getting out, we'll be ghosts in our hometown
We ain't ever getting out, we'll be ghosts in our hometown
We ain't ever getting out, we'll be ghosts in our hometown
