    • Verse 1
    Well 
    I'm 
    a poor 
    boy 
    from 
    Wabash, 

    they call 
    me oil 
    trash 

    I've 
    rubber- 
    necked 
    and 
    rousted 
    around 

    And 
    every 
    damn 
    job 

    the boss 
    he 
    says 
    "Hoss, 

    It 
    ain't 
    worth 
    pumping 
    from 
    the ground" 

    Verse 2

    So 
    I 
    come 
    here 
    to 

    Boomtown doing 
    just 
    fine 

    Till the 
    shit 
    hits 
    the 
    fan, 
    al
    right 

    Now 
    I 
    can't 
    get no 
    pay 

    and I'm 
    wasting 
    away 

    Flushed 
    out 
    and 
    busted 
    in 

    Boomtown to
    night 

    Verse 3
    My 
    baby 
    she's 
    mad, 

    she 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    all 
    bad 

    She'd 
    like 
    to see 
    me 

    work 
    myself 
    to death 

    She 
    said 
    "Go 
    out 
    and 
    get 

    yourself 
    another 
    damn 
    job" 

    I 
    said 
    "Honey, 
    just 
    save 
    your 
    breath" 

    Verse 4

    Oh 
    that 
    sweet 
    little 
    thing, 

    she threw 
    back 
    my 
    ring 

    I 
    bet 
    she held 
    it 
    up 
    to 
    the light 

    Now 
    the kids 
    are all 
    yakking, my 

    baby 
    she's 
    packing 

    Flushed 
    out and 
    busted 
    in 

    Boomtown tonight 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    Oh 
    Boomtown is 
    busted, 

    the 
    rigs 
    are 
    all 
    rusted 

    There's 
    no 
    lights 
    on 
    my 
    Christmas 
    tree 

    Well 
    I tried 
    El 
    Paso 
    and I 
    tried 
    Amarillo 

    But 
    I 
    didn't 
    find 
    a drop 
    of Texas 
    tea 

    Verse 6

    Well they 
    hit 
    us 
    when we're 
    down, 

    and we 
    can't 
    get 
    up 

    Though we're 
    trying 
    with 
    all 
    of our 
    might 

    Now 
    the 
    bottle's 
    run 
    dry 
    and 

    I'm 
    wondering 
    why 

    Flushed 
    out 
    and 
    busted 
    in 

    Boomtown tonight 

    Yes 
    I'm 
    flushed 
    out 
    and 

    Outro 1
    busted 
    in 
    Boomtown tonight

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
