[Verse 1]
Just like a long kiss, on a silver screen
Was I right in the sunset, just a short sweet dream
It fades into nothin’

Two hearts on the run, in a place called love
Chasin’ fool's gold, in a temporary rush of forever
Man, it was somethin’

[Chorus]
Yeah it used to be, you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter, and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be, but you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town

[Verse 2]
This place gets dark, when the sun sinks low
There’s abandoned streets, and the memories come and go
Like a tumbleweed

Every door is closed, every window's boarded up
If these walls could talk, they’d talk about love
And you and me

[Chorus]
Well it used to be, you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter, and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be, but you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
[Chorus]
Yeah it used to be, you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter, and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be, but you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
