Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steel toe boots in this oil soaked ground,
Another 14 hours, another shift down.
Your message on the phone cuts straight through to the heart,
I missed the joy of his first steps, what a great start.
[Verse 2]
So many Birthdays go by with cakes I don’t see,
You’ve been tucking them in, they’ve long quit asking ‘bout me.
I’m out here breaking my back day after day,
But the years I’ve lost, I can’t buy back, regardless my pay.
[Chorus]
I know I always let you down,
Maybe someday I can be around.
It was good to talk to you on the phone,
The Lord knows how much I miss home.
Why must I spend all my time,
Chasing that oilfield dime.
[Verse 3]
This hardhat life don’t give a damn,
About the heart of a daddy, the love of a man.
I’m working that black gold, and I feel so alone,
Every mile I drive pulls me further from home.
[Bridge]
One day I’ll no longer roam,
Trade in the long hitch for my own home.
Hold you close instead of this shame,
But the oilfield keeps calling my name.
[Chorus]
I know I always let you down,
Maybe someday I can be around.
It was good to talk to you on the phone,
The Lord knows how much I miss home.
Why must I spend all my time,
Chasing that oilfield dime.
[Outro – slow and raw]
Yeah the Lord knows I miss mine…
But I’m still chasing that oilfield dime.
