"Boomtown" lyrics - STEEP CANYON RANGERS

STEEP CANYON RANGERS
"Boomtown"
(Jedd Hughes / Graham Sharp)

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]
