Amargosa

The year was '67 in the Death Valley sun

They rolled in with a flat tire, and work to be done

She walked around the corner, it took her breath away

An old opera house, full of stories and songs of yesterday

And I can see myself there

So take me down to that California ghost town

Cause I can hear it calling out my name

Where my dreaming meets the daylight, and I am finally free

I know we've got a long way to go

But we've got a life to make the most of

So meet me in Amargosa

She looked in through the front door, and peered into the dark

Some would see disaster, but she saw a work of art

She fell in love in a moment, at once she realized

This masquerade of ruin, her future in disguise

So take me down to that California ghost town

Cause I can hear it calling out my name

Where my dreaming meets the daylight, and I am finally free

I know we've got a long way to go

But we've got a life to make the most of

So meet me in Amargosa

So keep your fame and keep your fortune, she don't need them anymore

The city lights don't shine as bright as the painted faces on these walls

You can chase the shadows, she'll be living in the sun

Dancing in the desert, and she is the only one

So take me down to that California ghost town

Cause I can hear it calling out my name

Where my dreaming meets the daylight, and I am finally free

I know we've got a long way to go

But we've got a life to make the most of

We've got this life to make the most of

So meet me in Amargosa

Meet me in Amargosa
