Maho Bay Ray - Boomtown

They called to follow up; they sounded real upbeat
There were forms for me to sign, and folks for me to meet
It was a dream job in Boomtown, calling to me
Like sirens singing out to brave Ulysses

"Jobs like this don't grow on trees.", your dad would always say
Looks great on my CV; great team, great boss, great pay
It was a dream job in Boomtown, calling to me
Like sirens singing out to brave Ulysses

So tie me to the mask; let me feel that ancient curse
But please don't let me go
I know it's heading for the worst
Cause long distance love don't work long, that's what we said

My friends won't be our friends, and our love would fade
Your text said "Go for it, but know the reasons why
I love you as you are. I'll love you till I die"
Well I can't stop thinking about those good times we had

They were too strong for too long to let them go bad
And suddenly I felt so selfish and so sad
I ran up to the house you shared with your dad
And you opened up and we kissed like we never had before

And I knew then that my dream town was just outside your door
So that dream job in Boomtown can play its sweet tune
To sailors and cowboys with nothing to lose
I'll stay here in our town, I won't be a fool
'Cause my town's a boomtown as long as there's you
