Oil Man â?? Chad Cooke Band



There ain't a darker night than the ones I've seen

When you're too damn tired to even dream

But you come alive when the doghouse screams

Oh the oil field's dark as money is green



There ain't a headache like the ones that come

Between a two week hitch and a seven day run

Blood, sweat, spit and a filthy tongue

Oh the oil field hurts like a snake bite stung



(Chorus)

So I'll send a card for Christmas and birthdays missed

And I'll sign the papers for the woman that I couldn't kiss

And I'll take the blame if I don't make the good Lord's list

But when I die I hope they know it was all for them

Cause I'd do it all over again



There ain't nothing in the world like earning these stripes

Then getting put out of work when the price ain't right

Yeah I left my soul, my pain, and my strife

Oh the oil field holes are filled with my life



(Repeat Chorus)



Well this hard hat and steel toes on my feet

Built the roughneck man that I'll always be

Yeah and I did it all for my family

Oh rig up, rig down, this patch just might bury me
