Hydrocarbon Heaven

There's a ghost town out west of Colorado In a part of the desert most won't see The grey hills the railroad Falling down buildings the whole show For sale it can be bought damn near free The discovery of oil made this boomtown And riggers came from miles around Then the war was won McCarthy done The whole town packed up and moved on To leave the town to crumble over time Oh sun always shines in Cisco Built by oil men in boom times Since the 70's just a ghost town The whole lot falling down Just a tiny dot on the map You can miss it without even trying In 65 they surveyed in the interstate Bypassing Cisco for good By 83 the road was in no one would stop by again They paid no mind to a town that once had been But sun it still shines in Cisco Built by oil men in boom times Since the 70's just a ghost town The whole lot falling down Just a tiny dot on the map You can miss it without even trying Now there ain't much life left in old Cisco For sale it will probably always be Home to river rats and rafters And rusty frozen pumpjacks The oil man's life here wasn't meant to be But the sun always shines in Cisco Built by oil men in boom times Since the 70's just a ghost town The whole lot falling down Just a tiny dot on the map You can miss it without even trying Yeah you can miss it without even trying You can miss it without even trying
