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
