An hour into my shirt

I'm covered from head to toe

Drilling oil from the bottom

Of the Gulf of Mexico

SUn's on the rise

Sweat rolling black down my face

Work until i cant move

Another back-breaking typical day



Chorus:

I've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes

Hailstorms and driving rain

And missing you

Ive worked through broken drills

And bustedhands

Weeks without seeing dry land

And missing you

I'll work as hard as any man

But until I'm home with you again

The toughest thing out here

That i go through is

Missing you



I lay down on my bed

And stare at the picture of you

Barefoot on the beach

Looking at me the way you do

I fal asleep with your letter in my hands

Dream about you until

That ol' whistle starts screaming again



(repeat chorus)



Ill work as hard as any man

But until im home with you again

The toughest thing out here

That i go through is

Missing you
