Lyric
The people came here from parts unknownSleepin’ in their cars ’cause they didn’t have homesThought this place was the promised landIf you could roughneck, we could use a good manCome on boy let me show you aroundYou could make a lot of money hereLivin’ in a boomtownWe’ll some build bars and big hotelsDownshift drive and the people live wellHigh on the hog and wild on the rangePocket full of cash instead of chump changeThis place kicks when the sun goes downAin’t life great when you’re livin’ in a boomtownSee oil was the blood that flowed through the soulTo keep a man workin’ when it’s forty belowRelent to the devil in the cold cold groundTrying to make a dollar here livin’ in a boomtownSix short years the oil fields wentRigs came down and the money got spentAnd the wisemen saved for a rainy dayThe fools packed up and moved awayThe hotels closed and the bars shut downAnd it got real quiet livin’ in a boomtownSee oil was the blood that flowed through the soulTo keep a man workin’ when it’s forty belowRelent to the devil in the cold cold groundTrying to make a dollar here livin’ in a boomtownNow the cafe’s filled with people tellin’ liesTrying to figure out how the town went dryYou can buy a house a dime on the dollarNeed a good home just give me a hollerI can move you in with no money downStill tryin’ to make a dollar here livin’ in a boomtownLivin’ in a boomtownLivin’ in a boomtown
