"These Damn Rigs" lyrics
These damn rigs
There's times I'd like to turn and walk away
Pack my bags and head back home and stay
But something keeps drawing me in
And it damn sure ain't the pay
Don't know what it is
'Bout these damn rigs
But I got a call when I was eighteen years old
Just a kid out there chasing that black gold
I got a little bit in my blood
And a lot down in my soul
Maybe that's what it is
'Bout these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
Well these damn rigs
Have caused their fair share of trouble back home
'Cause it's never easy to leave my woman alone
Tryna get back for two weeks
Off of one goodbye kiss
Yeah, there's a lot I miss
On these damn rigs
Like the time my little boy hit his first ball
And when my baby girl learned how to walk
Well someday I pray they know
What daddy did what he did
'Cause they're the reason I'm alone
In these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
Yet through the highs and lows the only thing I know
I'd do anything for those kids
And I thank God every night for these damn rigs
There's times I'd like to turn and walk away
Pack my bags and head back home and stay
But something keeps drawing me in
And it damn sure ain't the pay
Don't know what it is
'Bout these damn rigs
But I got a call when I was eighteen years old
Just a kid out there chasing that black gold
I got a little bit in my blood
And a lot down in my soul
Maybe that's what it is
'Bout these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
Well these damn rigs
Have caused their fair share of trouble back home
'Cause it's never easy to leave my woman alone
Tryna get back for two weeks
Off of one goodbye kiss
Yeah, there's a lot I miss
On these damn rigs
Like the time my little boy hit his first ball
And when my baby girl learned how to walk
Well someday I pray they know
What daddy did what he did
'Cause they're the reason I'm alone
In these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
But these damn rigs have been my family
For years at a time
And when things aren't going steady
Just left us all in a bind
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
Is I do it for my wife and kids
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
Yet through the highs and lows the only thing I know
I'd do anything for those kids
And I thank God every night for these damn rigs
