lyrics
Roughneck
It’s a long ride out to the rig today / And another one tomorrow a thousand miles away
Sixteen hours in a diesel truck / I got another hundred miles until the sun come up / The radio is broken there ain’t shit to do / But sit behind the wheel and think about you / Keep it between the ditches and dream about you
They pay me just enough to keep me coming back / I sign the check over whiskey and another hard pack / Call my old man and tell him where I’m at / He says, “Son, didn’t I raise you any better than that?” / Just bleeding every day drilling into the earth / Oil mixes with blood, wonder what it’s worth / With all this oil in my blood I wonder what I’m worth
Is it just another roughneck night / Stranded in the barroom light
Staring at the phone and wondering if you’ll ever call / Before another roughneck night / Is broken by the morning light / Finding me bleary-eyed in the front seat with my boots on
I climbed through your window early autumn dusk / The sun hanging off the mines like crumbling rust / Figured I should leave before it got too cold / I was scared of being hurt, scared of growing old / Now I’m out here in the desert and I just get stoned / With broken men who are all alone / I just keep on getting older and I’m still alone
And my daddy warned me about girls like you, you know / Said that bad ones leave you hurting, the good ones never let you go / And I finally figured which you were after so damn long / So I’m headed home from Casper, honey, at the break of dawn
After just another roughneck night / Stranded in the barroom light / Dreaming of the north woods and hoping that you ain’t left home / Before another roughneck night / Is broken by the morning light / Finding me bleary-eyed in the front seat with my boots on / Packed myself a bag, quit my job, and I’m headed home / Screaming down 90 in the front seat with my boots on / Dreaming of the north woods and praying that you ain’t left home / Before another roughneck night
