I've got a friend, a sometimes lover but mostly not
He says he loves me but I guess I forgot to know how
Cause I've shut down, liking a mining town, my seam has run clean out
And everyone but me has packed up and moved on
Call me the queen of boomtown
Her royal majesty come crashing down
Some may say it's my own doing anyway
But I've got a gold plated crown that I found &
I'm the queen of boomtown
Go on get yourself together my mama says
I know she worries but she's more concerned about her friends
And what folks say on their smoke breaks and at the store
Cause it's all about the flowers in the
Front lawn and not what's behind closed doors.
Call me the queen of boomtown
Her royal majesty come crashing down
Some may say it's my own doing anyway
But I've got a gold plated crown that I found &
I'm the queen of boomtown
Some folks take all they can get & dispose of the rest
I'm just taking what's left and forging ahead.
Call me the queen of boomtown
Her royal majesty come crashing down
Some may say it's my own doing anyway
But I've got a gold plated crown that I found &
I'm the queen of boomtown
