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
