Boomtown Lyrics - 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 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 

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
