Boomtown

[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 of a new boomtown

[Hook]
Boomtown, boomtown
Better be careful
Hard times in this boomtown
