Lyrics
There's a ghost town out west of Colorado
In a part of the desert most won't see
The grey hills the railroad
Falling down buildings the whole show
For sale it can be bought damn near free
The discovery of oil made this boomtown
And riggers came from miles around
Then the war was won McCarthy done
The whole town packed up and moved on
To leave the town to crumble over time
Oh sun always shines in Cisco
Built by oil men in boom times
Since the 70's just a ghost town
The whole lot falling down
Just a tiny dot on the map
You can miss it without even trying
In 65 they surveyed in the interstate
Bypassing Cisco for good
By 83 the road was in no one would stop by again
They paid no mind to a town that once had been
But sun it still shines in Cisco
Built by oil men in boom times
Since the 70's just a ghost town
The whole lot falling down
Just a tiny dot on the map
You can miss it without even trying
Now there ain't much life left in old Cisco
For sale it will probably always be
Home to river rats and rafters
And rusty frozen pumpjacks
The oil man's life here wasn't meant to be
But the sun always shines in Cisco
Built by oil men in boom times
Since the 70's just a ghost town
The whole lot falling down
Just a tiny dot on the map
You can miss it without even trying
Yeah you can miss it without even trying
You can miss it without even trying
