Oil Man Lyrics - Singles - 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
