about

This song is dedicated to my uncle Rick who worked in the Oil Patch for most of his life.

lyrics

I lived the life of an Oil Man
packing my things, saying my prayers and I'd be gone before dawn.
I would go and kiss my baby goodbye, I could see the tears in her eyes
but I knew if i stayed, Id never go back.

I'm a man of my word but I've signed my soul to the devil.
Now there's money for rent but this hell is all that I know.

So its up with the sun, down with the moon.
Working all day, making my way through the long haul.
It distracts me from my thoughts.
Well Id keep a picture of her in my pocket and Id write to her each day
but whether she got it I don't know.
I haven't heard from her, for far to long.

I'm a man of my word but I've signed my soul to the devil.
Now there's money for rent but this hell is all that I know.

Well naturally all things come to an end.
Now I've got no one to sit and hold my oil stained hands.
I've got a big ole house, but I'm all alone.

Working all my days just to hide the pain of living life as an Oil Man.
Working all my days just to hide the pain of living life as an Oil Man.
