It’s the same old rodeo
Whenever it appears
The roughnecks and truck drivers
Pipeliners and engineers
Our dusty little cowtown
Turned into a boomtown fast
Guess we had to say so long
To our little town of the past

Janine my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too

Now there’s big rigs on the highway
Loaded up with sand and tools
Oil rigs on the skyline
New kids in the schools
The thing about a cowtown
There’s always dust
But it always rains eventually
And rain it must

Janine my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too
Janine my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too

I hope that you’ve been saving
A little of that boomtown pay
I hope that you’ve been holding on
To something for a rainy day
The thing about a cowtown
There’s always dust
The thing about a boom is
There’s always a bust

Janine my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too
Janine my heart goes out to you
I know you’ve been trying
I’ve been trying too
