Bob Seger - Boomtown Blues Lyrics
Southern sun
Ridin' high
Winter nights
Warm and dry
You've earned your space buddy
How come you've got no
Peace of mind
Lots of work
Everywhere
Lots of money honey
Gettin' your share
The folks back home say
They'd love to be in your shoes so
How come you've got those
You can't miss that freezin' rain
You'd have to be insane
To head back north
And go through all that again
No chill in the air
No morning dew
No change of seasons
The sky always seems so blue
The earth ain't black and
The wind ain't cold
All of a sudden now
You feel so old
Somethin's wrong
And it's cuttin' deep
You're feelin' restless and it's
Hard to sleep
Look what you win but
Look what you lose
Stuck here in Heaven
With these Boomtown blues

You can't miss that freezing rain

Sounds like it was inspired by Steely Dan
Heard this song one time, driving down the road. I knew it was Bob Seger, and it had a rougher edge than I was used to from him. It does not get played on radio, so this is the second time I've heard it in 30 years! Thanks for posting it.
