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
