Raised alone, daddy's running a string 
Five generations of american dreams 
The wind it howls, and the pumpjacks they sing 
Get your money and run and you won't miss a thing 
You see this town out west, it raised me fast 
Sometimes red dirt paves a crooked path 
Nobody's around to see what we've done 
Just the flare in the night 'till the morning sun 

Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
Spending all their money trying to kill the pain 
Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
On an oil rig in the city of shame 
In the city of shame 

Momma got me out as soon as she could 
But I was too far gone and I did what I would 
Go back to see what trouble my friends found 
Get stoned and wait for the sun to go down 

Well they all ended up on amphetamines 
You either stay to die or you're dyin to leave 
Well I'm glad I got out just when I did 
I was pretty messed up but I was just a kid 

Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
Spending all their money trying to kill the pain 
Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
On an oil rig in the city of shame 
In the city of shame

The word got out that boom came again 
So innocent souls came to our land 
Bought a one bedroom for a hefty price
Won't be worth a damn when the land runs dry 

Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
Spending all their money trying to kill the pain 
Where the poor got rich and they went insane 
On an oil rig in the city of shame 
In the city of shame
