Boon Town

Well the billboards in boon town
Tell you money will never come
And they lock down the doors and their car windows
When the money runs dry
Well the old folks in boon town
Yeah, they laugh at you
Heading for your dreams
They got shuffleboard and jails
They got everything you want
They got movies for a piece
Boon town
There's no fire and there's no fuse
Boon town
Ain't nobody left to save you
Yeah, to save you
There's a slow time in boon town
Yeah, the money just changes hands
They locked up your school with bars and barbed wire
And left you there
They got shuffleboard in boon town
Got casinos and jails
Then they lock down the doors and their car windows
When the money changes hands
Boon town
Ain't no fire and there ain't no fuse
Boon town
Ain't nobody left to save you
Save you
Yeah well I was born in boon town
I was born there but I wasn't raised
And I left plenty of people there
I didn't have enough money to save
'Cause they got shuffleboard in boon town
They got casinos and jails
And they lock down the cars and the windows hard
When the money changes hands
Boon town
Ain't no fire and there ain't no fuse
Boon town
Ain't nobody left to save you
Boon town
Ain't no fire and there ain't no fuse
Boon town
Ain't nobody left to save you
To save you
