Well it's freezing and there's no one home
It's hard work out in the sticks
Left my woman out on the east coast
With her boy he's only ten
All the camps are full of metal bones
See the lines of big machines
A single mattress on this hardwood floor
It smells of smoke and gasoline
But it's high pay for these hard days and I'm alone
Yeah it's high pay for these hard days and I'm alone
Just two weeks I'll be home
On an island in a sea of trees
All the rig pigs on the run
This ten by twelve is killing me
When you're two weeks on and two weeks off
But it's high pay for these hard days and i'm alone
Yeah it's high pay for these hard days and i'm alone
Just two weeks I'll be home
In this worn out coke town we're all in debt
For a double wide trailer that we couldn't rent
I got a double shot of whiskey then my money's spent
On you
In this worn out coke town we're all in debt
For a double wide trailer that we couldn't rent
I got a double shot of whiskey then my money's spent
On you
In this worn out coke town we're all in debt
For a double wide trailer that we couldn't rent
I got a double shot of whiskey then my money's spent
On you
In this worn out coke town we're all in debt
For a double wide trailer that we couldn't rent
I got a double shot of whiskey then my money's spent
On you
Well it's high pay for these hard days and i'm alone
Just two weeks I'll be home
Just two weeks I'll be home
In this worn out coke town we're all in debt
For a double wide trailer that we couldn't rent
I got a double shot of whiskey then my money's spent
On you
