I think it's about coming back to your hometown, or to the place you used to spend holiday and you see that everything has changed, people are gone in other places, others are dead and you are no longer a person but a shadow ('hometown ghosts') - you remember your friends and how you were always thinking you'd never go seperate ways...so the only thing to do is to drink for all those best years that are in the past...great songs! I have many in commons with the lyrics actually
