"Boomtown" lyrics
"Boomtown"
Well my trailer looks like a liquor store
Or maybe one that just got robbed
Well I've got every bottle you can think of honey
From Crown to Enchanted Rock
And I ain't Keith Whitley and I ain't George Jones
But I damn sure could be the next
And my girlfriend of two months left me last night
I can't remember what I said
Well Goddamn
They say people are creatures of habit
I got more habits than I need
Well I dip, drink, and smoke
And I dabble in the coke, and I took up smoking weed
And I don't care if I get cancer, some disease and die today
Because that's just about my only ticket out of Boomtown, USA
Oh and out here it gets lonesome, and out here it ain't no fun
Living in the desert, and this unpredicted weather
And the forecast is probably more sun
I may get loaded, or go to bed
But I'll still be tired the next day
Cause there ain't no rest for the wicked out here
In Boomtown, USA
Oh yeah
Well I think that I might go crazy
Yeah I think I might go insane
But I'm keeping it together, and I tell myself
"I'm never working in this place again"
Then I see the zeros that the paystub shows
And I'm back to work the next day
Cause they pay me too good for the suffering I do
Out in Boomtown, USA
Oh Yeah out here it gets lonesome, and out here it ain't no fun
Living in the desert, and this unpredicted weather
And the forecast is probably more sun
I may get fucked up, or go to bed
But I'll still be tired the next day
Cause there ain't no rest for the wicked out here
In Boomtown, USA
No there ain't no rest for the wicked out here in Boomtown

Carson Jeffrey - "Girl You Ought To" Play with my heart if you please
But don't expect to get the best of me
I've been here before I've seen it all
Had my back up against the wall
I've been hoping that you might call
Pick up the phone,...
Drayton Farley - "Chewing On Fire" I've been chewing on the fire
Oh and spitting out them flames
I've been picking out the coals
Embedded in my veins
I've been watering my eyes
Oh I've let that river flow
And it takes it all away
Not...
Uncle Lucius - "Ain't It The Same" I got into a fistfight
On a $5 bill
Now I got to ravin'
Six months on the hill
Ain't it the same?
Ain't it the same?
They cut my hair last winter
Ain't it the same?
Used to have a woman
And two more...
Colby Acuff - "If I Were The Devil" One, two, three, four
If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do
Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you
I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires
And I'd watch the flames...
