Oilfield Boomtown
Roughnecks, roustabouts and ramblers
Rednecks, outlaws and gamblers
Bankers and lawyers, preachers all around
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Wildcatters drillin' on some old farmer's land
There's blood and tears mixed with the woodbine sand
Hell bent for riches, glory bound
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Keep on drillin' till the day I die
Till all my dreams and the wells have all run dry
Gonna pick up everything I own, start movin' on down
To the next oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Gonna take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
In this oilfield boomtown
Rednecks, outlaws and gamblers
Bankers and lawyers, preachers all around
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Wildcatters drillin' on some old farmer's land
There's blood and tears mixed with the woodbine sand
Hell bent for riches, glory bound
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Keep on drillin' till the day I die
Till all my dreams and the wells have all run dry
Gonna pick up everything I own, start movin' on down
To the next oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
Payin' for my love from an oilfield dove
Prayin' for black gold to come rainin' down from above
Gonna take all my dreams, sink 'em in the ground
In this oilfield boomtown
In this oilfield boomtown
