Boomtown

(toby keith)

Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasn't changed since i been gone
Oh, this used to be my way home

They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good
It was gettin rough
Someone finally complained eneogh

Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me

That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin my life

If i pulled in would it cause a seen
There not really expectin me
Those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they adjusted well

Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise
In this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up

Drive away one more time
Lot of things going thru my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same

That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life

Word sure gets around in a tattle tale town
That why she never goes out at night
But when her kids go to school and her husband's gone too
She gets in her care and she drives
To a little motel on the outskirts of town
Puts on her perfume and turns the bed down
And i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

It's pta meetings, warm social greetings
A woman's work never gets done
It's church sunday, it starts again monday
Seems she's always on the run
And she gets so lonely it tears her in two
That's when she does what a woman must do
And i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Ah she's got her children to raise that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Yeah i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen, up all night wonderin' where i been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud, i guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'

Now i'm paintin' the house and i'm mendin' the fence
I guess i gone out and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinkin', now i'm killing myself
Now i'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'

Now i'm fixin' the sink and i'm mowin' the grass
You made me a list and i'm bustin' my...wheel
All broke down, tail's been (or talespin??) draggin'
It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon
Now i'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'
Yeah, i sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'

This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can

Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

That woman you've been loving, she was another man's
You stole her heart while his nack was turned
On every corner there's an outlaw waiting
Who wants to teach you what you never learned

Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So don't go crying when her love goes flying to
The thieving arms of another man

There ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Love's a deck of cards read them and weep
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

Yeah
There ain't no right or wrong
Nothing's carved in stone
