boomtown blues

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
