Boomtown |
| The people came here from parts unknown |
| Sleepin’in their cars 'cause they didn’t have homes |
| Thought this place was the promised land |
| If you could roughneck, we could use a good man |
| Come on boy let me show you around |
| You could make a lot of money here |
| Livin’in a boomtown |
| Well some build bars and big hotels |
| Downshift drive and the people live well |
| High on the hog and wild on the range |
| Pocket full of cash instead of chump change |
| This place kicks when the sun goes down |
| Ain’t life great when you’re livin’in a boomtown |
| See oil was the blood that flowed through the soul |
| To keep a man workin’when it’s forty below |
| Relent to the devil in the cold cold ground |
| Trying to make a dollar here livin’in a boomtown |
| Six short years the oil fields went |
| Rigs came down and the money got spent |
| And the wisemen saved for a rainy day |
| The fools packed up and moved away |
| The hotels closed and the bars shut down |
| And it got real quite livin’in a boomtown |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Now the cafe’s filled with people tellin’lies |
| Trying to figure out how the town went dry |
| You can buy a house a dime on the dollar |
| Need a good home just give me a holler |
| I can move you in with no money down |
| Still tryin’to make a dollar here livin’in a boomtown |
| Livin’in a boomtown |
| Livin’in a boomtown |
