Peoria County Ghosts

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back on Main Street, same brick store
Same ball field, same screen door
In the glow of the supper room
I hear your laugh in the linoleum

You used to race the church yard fence
Trade old secrets on my bench
Now the names just fade and bend
Like chalk dust in the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
I scroll and scroll, but you won't show
Not a trace in the afterglow
If I call out through the screen
Will you know just what I mean?

[Chorus]
Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Can't find you on Facebook
Can't find you on Facebook

Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Same old town, same old faces
But your names are empty places

[Verse 2]
There's a grain elevator hum
And a Saturday after farm work sun
We were kings of that cracked blacktop
Till the whole wide world made us stop

One moved west, one changed her name
One just vanished from the chain
I keep hoping for a clue
In the blue light after two

[Pre-Chorus]
I scroll and scroll, but you won't show
Not a trace in the afterglow
If I call out through the screen
Will you know just what I mean?

[Chorus]
Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Can't find you on Facebook
Can't find you on Facebook

Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Same old town, same old faces
But your names are empty places

[Bridge]
Maybe you're out there, under a new sky
Maybe you changed, maybe so did I
But when the map goes quiet at the county line
I still save your seats in the back of my mind

[Chorus]
Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Can't find you on Facebook
Can't find you on Facebook

Where did my friends go?
Where did my friends go?
Same old town, same old faces
But your names are empty places
