Boomtown

Lyrics

[Hook] Boomtown, boomtown Better be careful Hard times in this boomtown [Verse 1] Skyscrapers rising from the desert floor Eighteen people living in a shack next door It ain't so easy living in this boomtown [Verse 2] They said the highways here were paved with gold But the concrete's hot and the bright light's cold It ain't so easy living in this boomtown [Hook] Boomtown, boomtown Better be careful Hard times in this boomtown [Bridge] Everyday it's the same old thing Strangers come to see what luck will bring to [Hook] Boomtown, boomtown Better be careful Hard times in this boomtown [Verse 3] They built new houses out on the outskirts But there's men in town who can't get work It ain't so easy living in this boomtown [Bridge] Everyday it's the same old thing Strangers come to see what luck will bring to [Hook] Boomtown, boomtown Better be careful Hard times in this boomtown [Verse 4] Skyscrapers rising from the desert floor Eighteen people 'round a liquor store Someone says they heard about a new boomtown [Hook] Boomtown, boomtown Better be careful Hard times in this boomtown
