["Please welcome The Haunted Windchimes"]

Sorry I can't stay
But I must be on my way
That old road is a callin'
I could leave tomorrow
But I'd rather leave today
There ain't no use in stallin'
And I'll be headed down
To the (?) of a ghost town
Looking for something true
I won't hang about until that full moon comes around
Listen to that Mississippi road
That ooh, ooh, ooh
And the music of the road
It will always come to me
If I just stop to notice
The whistling of the birds
And the wailing of the trees
The songs that they sing for us
And we'll be headed down to the tracks of a train town
Looking for something true
We'll hang about until that full moon comes around
Listen to that old train whistle blow
That ooh, ooh, ooh
That ooh, ooh, ooh
