[Verse 1] Steel toes in that red dirt Hard hat in the back seat Salt air on my Carhartt Smoke rollin' from the drag-up meet Arc flash in my sunburn Sweat stingin' in my eyes Pay stub lookin' real mean Time clock never lies (uh) 7–12s, that’s all I know Funnel line, turn it around, gotta go Pipe on the rack, lay a root real slow If it don’t stack dime, then it don’t leave the floor [Chorus] I’m a Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown Grindin' till the lights go out Eighty-four hours this week Let the foreman scream and shout (yeah) I’m a pipeline-hardened, slide-rule, sight-down Fit it, burn it in, then ride out Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown That’s that pipewelder lifestyle [Verse 2] Stinger in my right hand TIG torch in my left grip Back purge, tight cap Watch that puddle drip X-ray clean, I chase that crown QC on me, can’t flag this down (nope) Barn find Chevy in the motel lot Per diem in my pocket, hit the boil shack spot (hey) Mud on my boots, but the stainless shine Outage money got me feelin' fine Chasin' that call-out, turn-around grind Missed three birthdays, but the bills in line [Chorus] I’m a Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown Grindin' till the lights go out Eighty-four hours this week Let the foreman scream and shout I’m a pipeline-hardened, slide-rule, sight-down Fit it, burn it in, then ride out Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown That’s that pipewelder lifestyle (yeah) [Bridge] From the rack to the jack, I stay ready Buzz box hummin', hand stay steady From the dockside rigs to the plant back gate If it pays that double-time, I’ll work late (work late) [Chorus] I’m a Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown Grindin' till the lights go out Eighty-four hours this week Let the good Lord sort me out I’m a pipeline-hardened, slide-rule, sight-down Fit it, burn it in, then ride out Gulf Coast cowboy shutdown That’s that pipewelder lifestyle (that’s right)

Verses lean conversational and tough, hook opens wide with gang vocals and stomps. Slight drawl on the delivery, ad-libs tucked in, mix dusty but punchy for truck speakers and jobsite radios., country
