Crystal Palace - Ghosts – a Tombstone, Arizona song by Tanuki Thunder

Verse 1

Pulled in off the highway with the desert in my eyes
Neon on the boardwalk under big Arizona skies
Found a corner barstool where the old ones used to lean
Same Fifth and Allen corner since eighteen-seventy-nine
Started as a brewery when the silver made men bold
Now I'm drinkin' where the legends drank, at least that's what I'm told

Chorus

There's ghosts on Allen Street tonight
Virgil's window's glowin' with that old lamplight
Doc Goodfellow's upstairs, still keepin' watch on the town
And every shot of whiskey brings the old days back around
So turn the jukebox up, let the red dirt ring out right
At the Crystal Palace, there's ghosts on Allen Street tonight

Verse 2

Fire took it once in eighty-two, but they built it back up tall
Crystal chandeliers and a mirror on the wall
Miners and the lawmen, cowboys hustlin' cards
Kept the dealin' honest and the trouble in the yard
Prohibition tried to kill it, dried the bar and shut it down
But you can't bury nothin' in a town that won't stay down

Chorus

There's ghosts on Allen Street tonight
Virgil's window's glowin' with that old lamplight
Doc Goodfellow's upstairs, still keepin' watch on the town
And every shot of whiskey brings the old days back around
So turn the jukebox up, let the red dirt ring out right
At the Crystal Palace, there's ghosts on Allen Street tonight

Bridge

Some say late at night, when the last call's been called
You hear boot heels on the floorboards, and cards slappin' the wall
Maybe it's the Earps, maybe just the wind
Either way, partner, they're welcome back again

Final Chorus

There's ghosts on Allen Street tonight
Virgil's window's glowin' with that old lamplight
Doc Goodfellow's upstairs, still keepin' watch on the town
And every shot of whiskey brings the old days back around
So turn the jukebox up, let the red dirt ring out right
At the Crystal Palace, there's ghosts on Allen Street tonight
Yeah, the Crystal Palace, there's ghosts on Allen Street tonight
