[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Missing you Missing you [Chorus] 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
