Toby Keith - Boomtown Lyrics

Send "Boomtown" ringtone to your cell

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
