Ghost Towns

(album: The Family Tree: The Roots - 2011)

I've got no need for open roads
'Cause all I own fits on my back
I see the world from rusted trains
And always know I won't be back

'Cause all my life is wrapped up in today
No past or future here
If I find my name's no good
I just fall out of line

But I miss you
But there's no coming home
There's no coming home
With a name like mine
I still think of you
But everyone knows
Yeah everyone knows
If you care then let it go

I've seen more places than I can name
And over time they all start to look the same
But it ain't that truth we chase
No, it's the promise of a better place

But all this time, I've been chasing down a lie
And I know it for what it is
But it beats the alternatives
So I'll take the lie

I still miss you
There's no going home
There's no going home
With a name like mine
I still dream of you
But everyone knows
Yeah everyone knows
If you can, let it go
