Southern sun
Ridin' high
Winter nights

Warm and dry
You've earned your space buddy
You've done your time

How come you've got no
Peace of mind


Lots of work
Everywhere
Lots of money honey

Gettin' your share
The folks back home say
They'd love to be in your shoes so

How come you've got those
Boomtown blues


You can't miss that freezin' rain
You'd have to be insane
To head back north

And go through all that again

No chill in the air

No morning dew
No change of seasons
The sky always seems so blue

The earth ain't black and
The wind ain't cold
All of a sudden now

You feel so old

Somethin's wrong

And it's cuttin' deep
You're feelin' restless and it's
Hard to sleep

Look what you win but
Look what you lose
Stuck here in Heaven

With these Boomtown blues
