Duly Noted Acoustic Duo - Little Boom Town

I grew up in a little boom town
Just outside the city lines
All the people came and left us
Just as soon as it went dry
And the kids went off to college
To go work on their degrees
And the farms are long forgotten
Like the passing tumbleweeds

This little world keeps spinning round
Like the old turning plow
And these worn hands, broke and bound
Those old ways don't matter now

I went back to the little boom town
Just to walk the city streets
Saw the stores all boarded up now
Couldn't find a place to eat
And the houses were all empty
And the grass was overgrown
I looked into the broken windows
My reflection was alone

This little world keeps spinning round
Like the old turning plow
And these worn hands, broke and bound
Those old ways don't matter now
