Just like a long kiss on a silver screen
Was I right in the sunset, just a short sweet dream
It fades into nothin’
Two hearts on the run,
in a place called love
Chasin’ fool’s gold
in a temporary rush of forever
Man, it was somethin’
Yeah it used to be
you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter
and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be,
But you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
This place gets dark
when the sun sinks low
there’s abandoned streets
and the memories come and go
Like a tumbleweed
every door is closed
every window’s boarded up
if these walls could talk
they’d talk about love
And you and me
well it used to be
you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter
and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be,
But you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
Yeah it used to be
you could walk around here
And there was life and laughter
and a song in your ear
Yeah it used to be,
But you wouldn’t know it now
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
Used to be a boom town
