Boomtown

right now a spare room share
bath bicycle shying busses and

stolen Gold Star chili lunch
or happy hour boys from the hills

sober side of the bar watching
frozen margueritas and lite beer

by the pitcher empty another please
and catching the odds gotta wad

onda three horse partying at sons
of dead coal barons snorting my

eyeballs out trying to pretend
i'm as stupid as he and sometimes

proving it   yes carried away by
headlines money here there every

where   it's booming all right
and i'm out bouncing checks
