Song about being alone in Yopal, Colombia
(Verse 1)
I wake up in Yopal, it's quiet as can be,
My boots by the door, but no one’s missin’ me.
The dogs ain’t barkin’, the kids ain’t makin’ a sound,
I’m a ghost in this country town when my wife ain’t around.
(Chorus)
I’m invisible, I’m a tumbleweed blowin’ by,
A lonely ol’ cowboy, just wonderin’ why,
No one sees me when she’s outta town,
I’m a ghost in this country town, oh, when my wife ain’t around.
(Verse 2)
I tried to make breakfast, but the eggs turned to ash,
The cows ignored me, didn’t even give a glance.
The neighbors walk by, don’t even wave or shout,
I’m a ghost in this country town when my wife’s not about.
(Chorus)
I’m invisible, I’m a shadow on the wall,
A man outta place, waitin’ on her call,
No one sees me when she’s outta town,
I’m a ghost in this country town, oh, when my wife ain’t around.
(Bridge)
The sun don’t shine the same, the stars don’t seem as bright,
Without her here, everything just don’t feel right.
But when she pulls back in, well, I come back to life,
This ghost disappears with the return of my wife.
(Final Chorus)
I’m invisible, but only for a spell,
When she’s back, boy, I’ll have stories to tell.
No more ghostin’ in this country town,
‘Cause my wife’s back around, and I’m livin’ loud now!
