Boomtown Toby Keith

[Verse 1]
The people came here from parts unknown
Sleeping' 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
Living in a Boomtown

[Verse 2]
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 Living in a Boomtown

[Chorus]
Sea oil was the blood that flowed through the soul
To keep a man working' when it's forty below
Relent to the devil in the cold cold ground
Trying to make a dollar here Living in a Boomtown

[Verse 3]
Six short years the oil fields went
Rigs came down and the money got spent
And the wise men saved for a rainy day
The fools packed up and moved away
The hotels closed and the bars shut down
And it got real quiet here, Living in a Boomtown
