Roughest Neck Around |
He got a real long reach in the derrick when he leans |
He’s been all around the world on the big oil rigs |
With the welders and the trucks on the black gold rush |
And the diesel burnin' Cat motors growlin' and the mud |
You’d better hire him on, he’s the roughest neck around |
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground |
Yeah |
It’s 35 below or its 98 above |
And he’s workin' thru it all, cuz baby this is what he loves |
Drives a hundred-fifty miles make sure his kids are doin' fine |
And he sees 'em when he can but he’s married to his iron |
You’d better hire him on, he’s the roughest neck around |
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground |
Yeah |
He’s a good hand to have on, and he’s throwin' on the tongs |
Spinnin' chain and slidin' high side all night long |
And he’s tripping in his pipe, and he torques it good and tight |
And ya gotta figure Eddy’s got his mud weight right |
You’d better hire him on cuz he’s better than the rest |
He got the power in his hands and the dragons in his chest |
Yeah |
Well, his mind’s a little tired but his back is plenty strong |
Got his green kings and filthy, frozen coveralls on |
And he’s drilling by the inch and he’s hauling on the winch |
Takin' fuel from the tanks on his short change shift |
You’d better hire him on, he’s the roughest neck around |
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground |
Yeah, you’d better hire him on cuz he’s better than the rest |
He got the power in his heart and the dragons in his chest |
Yeah |
He brings the power to the people |
Power to the people |
Cuz he’s the roughest neck around |
He’s pullin' dragons from the ground |
