Missing you

An hour into my shift, I'm covered from head to toe
Drillin' oil from the bottom, of the Gulf of Mexico
Sun's on the rise, sweat rollin' black down my face
Work until I can't move, another back-breakin' typical day

I've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes
Hailstorms and drivin' rain, and missin' you
I've worked through broken drills and busted hands
Weeks without seeing dry land, and missin' you

I'll work as hard as any man
But until I'm home with you again
The toughest thing out here
That I go through is, missin' you

I lay down on my bed, and stare at the picture of you
Barefoot on the beach, lookin' at me the way you do
I fall asleep, with your letter in my hands
Dream about you until, that old whistle starts screamin' again I've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes
Hailstorms and drivin' rain, and missin' you
I've worked through broken drills and busted hands
Weeks without seeing dry land, and missin' you

I'll work as hard as any man
But until I'm home with you again
The toughest thing out here
That I go through is, missin' you

Missing you
Missing you

I'll work as hard as any man
But until I'm home with you again
The toughest thing out here
That I go through is, missin' you
