Corb Lund & The Hurtin' Albertans Lyrics

"Roughest Neck Around"

You got a real long reach in the dairy queen leans
You been a all around the world on the big old rigs
With the welders and the trucks on the black gold rush
And the diesel burning cat motors growling in the mud
You better hire Ramone, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground, yeah

It's thirty five a load, whores ninety and a bub
And he's working through it all 'cause, baby
This is what he loves
Drives a hundred fifty miles make sure his kids are doing fine
And he sees them when he can but he's married to his iron
You better hire Ramone, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands, he's pulling the dragons from the ground, yeah

He's a good hand to have on and he's throwing on the tums
Been a chain to sliding high side all night long
And he's tripping in his pipe and he torques it good and tight
And you gotta big, he's got his mud weighed right
You better hire Ramone 'cause he's the better than the rest
He got the power in his hands and the dragons in his chest, yeah

Well, his mind's a little tight but his back is plenty strong
Got his green kins and filthy frozen coveralls on
And he's drilling by the inch and he's hauling on the winch
Taking fuel from the tanks on his short change shift
You better hire Ramone, he's the roughest neck around
He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground
Yeah, you better hire Ramone 'cause 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
'Cause he's the roughest neck around
He's pulling dragons from the ground
He gives power to the people
Get power to the people
He's the roughest neck around
