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 windows 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
