The rush is on & I should be gone
Who am I to stay so long?
Words getting round ‘bout what they found
Out there in boomtown
The lights outshine the moon at night
And dreams roll in on a high tide
The shadows never hit the ground
Baby I'm gonna shine in boomtown
I'll be there in Boomtown
CHORUS
Every crack in the sidewalk could hold 1,000 tears
There's a fresh stretch of black top that'll get me out of here
Stand up on your rooftops and sing your prayers out loud
They still won't make a sound, still won't make a sound
Out there in Boomtown
Wolfman on the radio
Cutting across the wild plateau
Says the clocks have come unwound
Out here in boomtown, out here in boomtown
CHORUS
Seasons come and seasons go
When work round here is getting slow
Might be north, it might be south
I'll be bound for Boomtown
You'll find me there in Boomtown
CHORUS
