Lyrics
Down in Fort Worth, the neon signs glow
Cowboys ride shadows where the black gold flows
Steel rigs rising, drilling deep in the ground
Money talks louder than the mockingbird sound
Boomtown fever, chasing fortune and flame
Every street corner whispers the same old name
Oil-stained hands and a pocket full of dreams
But the river runs muddy, torn at the seams
Fort Worth, you're burning bright tonight
Boomtown blues in the pale moonlight
Oil and money, they cut and they scar
But the soul of the city still plays guitar
Green fields fading, smoke clouds in the sky
The prairie remembers what the dollar denies
Silver towers rising where the wild grass lay
Trading tomorrow for a fortune today
Call and response, is it freedom or just the price we pay?
Boomtown blues won't fade away
Is it progress or a deal with the dust?
Fort Worth runs on oil and trust
Fort Worth, you're burning bright tonight
Boomtown blues in the pale moonlight
Oil and money, they cut and they scar
But the soul of the city still plays guitar
So raise your glass to the boomtown song
Where the deals are fast and the nights are long
Fort Worth's heart beats heavy and true
A city of fortune, a city of blues
