Boomtown

Toby Keith Boomtown Lyrics
1.Big Ol' Truck

(toby keith)

Yeah you can see the girl comin'
From a mile away
She's got her big wheels turnin'
She's got oklahoma plates

She's got her sun roof up
She's got her windows rolled down
And you oughta feel the ground shakin'
When she comes to town

Yeah i'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man i wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon i'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

She's got bucket seats fully customized
In your wildest dreams painted on the side
It was built to run, she was built to show
She's got a haggard hit playin' on her stereo

Yeah i'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man i wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon i'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

Yeah i'm in love with the girl in the four-wheel drive
Chrome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in her large machine
Man i wonder how she gets up in that thing
It casts a big shadow sittin' in the sun
She's got it revved up rockin' ready to run
And someday soon i'm gonna climb right up
And take a little ride in her big ol' truck

Big ol' truck
Ten feet tall, ten feet wide
It's a big ol' truck
Here she comes again man

3.In Other Words

you've got my heart in unfamiliar territory
It's never been out here on my sleeve
Here tonight with you it's quite a diff'rent story
You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen.

There's somethin' i'm afraid to say to you too early
But i'd be a fool to wait too late
My mind is cautious but my heart is in a hurry
Which one's right is really hard to say

Chorus:
In other words
I can't put i love you
In other words
When i look into your eyes
No other words
Can capture what i'm feelin'
My heart tells my head
Some things can't be said
In other words
Better men then i, have tried to find a better phrase
Still i love you has a ring i've never heard
In other words

What we got here is a touchy situation
You smile as if you read my mind
Pair of i love you's gently ends this conversation
'cause matters of the heart can't be defined

Chorus:
In other words
I can't put i love you
In other words
When i look into your eyes
No other words
Can capture what i'm feelin'
My heart tells my head
Some things can't be said
In other words
Better men then i, have tried to find a better phrase
Still i love you has a ring i've never heard.....

In other words
Better men then i, have tried to find a better phrase
Still i love you has a ring i've never heard
In other words

5.No Honor Among Thieves

(nathan crow/david wills)

This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can

Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

That woman you've been loving, she was another man's
You stole her heart while his nack was turned
On every corner there's an outlaw waiting
Who wants to teach you what you never learned

Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So don't go crying when her love goes flying to
The thieving arms of another man

There ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Love's a deck of cards read them and weep
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves

Yeah
There ain't no right or wrong
Nothing's carved in stone


6.Upstairs, Downtown

(toby keith/carl goff, jr.)

Route 14 box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said don't forget to call when you get there girl.

Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind

Moving upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good

All bills paid and a room with a view
She's unpacked a dish or two
She just got her phone turned on today
There's a big, old world waiting just outside
As she's thumbing through the classifieds
Looking for work and any old job's okay

Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind

Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good

Then she lost her job at the grocery store
And the wolf came knocking at the door
The red notice said they turned off her telephone
There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or
two
Loaded her car down, now she's headed home

Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind

Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good


7.Victoria's Secret

(toby keith/wayne perry)

Word sure gets around in a tattle tale town
That why she never goes out at night
But when her kids go to school and her husband's gone too
She gets in her care and she drives
To a little motel on the outskirts of town
Puts on her perfume and turns the bed down
And i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let
it show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

It's pta meetings, warm social greetings
A woman's work never gets done
It's church sunday, it starts again monday
Seems she's always on the run
And she gets so lonely it tears her in two
That's when she does what a woman must do
And i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let
it show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Ah she's got her children to raise that's why she can't let it
show
I'm the only one who knows victoria's secret

Yeah i'm the only one who knows victoria's secret


8.Who's That Man

(toby keith)

Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasn't changed since i been gone
Oh, this used to be my way home

They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good
It was gettin rough
Someone finally complained eneogh

Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me

That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life

If i pulled in would it cause a seen
There not really expectin me
Those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they adjusted well

Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise
In this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up

Drive away one more time
Lot of things going thru my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same

That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life


9.Woman Behind The Man


10.You Ain't Much Fun

(toby keith/carl goff, jr.)

I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen, up all night wonderin' where i
been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud, i guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'

Now i'm paintin' the house and i'm mendin' the fence
I guess i gone out and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinkin', now i'm killing myself
Now i'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'

Now i'm fixin' the sink and i'm mowin' the grass
You made me a list and i'm bustin' my...wheel
All broke down, tail's been (or talespin??) draggin'
It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon
Now i'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'
Yeah, i sobered up, and i got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since i quit drinkin'
