Some think I do it for the money, some think it's all I can do
Some think it's a family tradition, cause my daddy was a roughneck too
Some think I'm just being macho, but I'm just a regular joe
I'll tell you why I work in the oilfield, cause I think you ought to know.
I get my dope in a five gallon bucket, and my joints are thirty feet long
Every rig's got a pusher, and I can trip from dusk till dawn
I can get high any time I want to, on a board eighty feet off the floor
That's why I love to work in the oilfield, who could ask for anything more.
There's a lot of other jobs that I could handle, I'm an intelligent guy don't you know
I could be a supervisor in a factory, drive a dozer or a big backhoe
There's a lot of ways I could make a living, but they just wouldn't be worth a dime
Cause man I love to work in the oilfield, and let me tell you why one more time.
I get my dope in a five gallon bucket, and my joints are thirty feet long
Every rig's got a pusher, and I can trip from dusk till dawn
I can get high any time I want to, on a board eighty feet off the floor
That's why I love to work in the oilfield, who could ask for anything more.
I get my dope in a five gallon bucket, and my joints are thirty feet long
Every rig's got a pusher, and I can trip from dusk till dawn
Well I can get high any time I want to, on a board eighty feet off the floor
That's why I love to work in the oilfield, who could ask for anything more.
