Lyrics
[Verse]
I used to chase oil beneath the ground
Days so long where the drills spun round
Mud on my boots and a helmet on my crown
But life pulled me back to this hometown
[Verse 2]
Rigs were roaring like a thunder in the sky
Machines sang songs beneath the moon so high
But I left that noise said my goodbye
For a tiny voice and big brown eyes
[Chorus]
Drilling days done traded oil for love
Hung up my helmet reached for what's above
Swapped that fire for a gentle shove
I'm a roughneck dad but I’m soft enough
[Bridge]
The violin hums where the rigs used to wail
Heavy guitars sing a fatherhood tale
Piano keys dance like his toddler trail
Every choice worth it love will never fail
[Verse 3]
Now my hands run through his messy hair
Instead of bolts I spin his high chair
The paycheck’s smaller but I don’t care
My heart’s richer knowing I’m there
[Chorus]
Drilling days done traded oil for love
Hung up my helmet reached for what's above
Swapped that fire for a gentle shove
I'm a roughneck dad but I’m soft enough
