Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – slow steel guitar, distant church bell] Sun ain’t up but the rigs are hummin’ Diesel prayers on a cold black mornin’ Mud on my boots, Bible on the dash Devil in the rearview, ridin’ my ass [Verse 1] Swingin’ hammers till my hands go numb Iron sings when the daylight comes Derricks creak like an old church choir Black smoke risin’ like funeral fire Breakin’ my damn back in the Texas dust Steel and sweat and faith and rust Devil whispers through the drill bit scream Tryin’ to steal every God-given dream [Chorus] But I got a green-eyed woman waitin’ at home Prayin’ for me when I’m out alone Hands to Heaven, callin’ my name Through oilfield hell and refinery flame Drive these trucks through mud and pain Swing these hammers in wind and rain I said fuck the devil, he ain’t takin’ my soul Got her love and the Lord to keep me whole [Verse 2] Fourteen hours on a broken spine Frac lights burn like judgment time Hydraulics cry and chains all sing Steel teeth bite and the anvils ring Preacher said, “Son, keep walkin’ straight” But temptation waits at every gate Money talks in a dirty bar Devil grinnin’ from a mason jar [Chorus] But I got a green-eyed woman waitin’ at home Prayin’ for me when I’m out alone Hands to Heaven, callin’ my name Through oilfield hell and refinery flame Drive these trucks through mud and pain Swing these hammers in wind and rain I said fuck the devil, he ain’t takin’ my soul Got her love and the Lord to keep me whole [Bridge – gospel feel, heavier riffs] Choir in my head singin’ low “Son, keep pushin’, don’t let go” Devil at the wellhead callin’ my sin But her green eyes pull me back again [Breakdown – heavy, stomping rhythm] Break my back — but I won’t break faith Mud on my hands — but my heart stays straight Steel may bend — bones may crack But love and God keep pullin’ me back [Outro – slow, gritty] When the rig goes quiet and the night turns still I thank the Lord on that lonely hill For a green-eyed woman and a stubborn soul In the oilfield fire that made me whole.
