Boomtown - Toby Keith
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
We'll 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
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 here
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
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
