Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hard hat hangin’ on a rusted nail Coffee gone cold by the window rail H&P 649 hums all night Iron teeth turnin’ in the work light Boots sunk deep in the drilling mud Knuckles busted Little stain of blood Clock crawls slow on the doghouse wall Radio static I can’t hear your call [Chorus] I’m just a floor hand prayin’ on this steel Chasin’ that day rate Tryin’ to pay our bills Two weeks gone And my heart’s still home With my babies’ laughs on your old iPhone I bow my head under all these stars “Lord Guide my hands Guard their hearts” Out on this rig Under heaven so far Just workin’ my way Back to their arms [Verse 2] Your picture’s taped to my locker door Crayon hearts from the kids on the drawer Little handprints in blue and green That’s my whole world in a three-by-three Missin’ ball games and bedtime prayers First loose teeth and their messy hair I count my checks I count my days But I count on God when I can’t see a way [Chorus] I’m just a floor hand prayin’ on this steel Chasin’ that day rate Tryin’ to pay our bills Two weeks gone And my heart’s still home With my babies’ laughs on your old iPhone I bow my head under all these stars “Lord Guide my hands Guard their hearts” Out on this rig Under heaven so far Just workin’ my way Back to their arms [Bridge] If this chain holds If this pipe don’t fall (yeah) If You hear a roughneck when he calls Give me one more drive down that county road One more chance to lift ‘em close [Chorus] I’m just a floor hand prayin’ on this steel Chasin’ that day rate Tryin’ to pay our bills Two weeks gone But I’m headed home To those muddy shoes and your tired hello I bow my head Whisper “thank You” soft Engine hummin’ as the miles roll off Off this rig Out of all this harm Finally made my way Back to their arms (back to their arms)
