When I wear into my shield I'm covered from head to toeDrilling oil from the bottom of the Gulf of MexicoSun's on the rise, sweat rolling black down my faceWork until I can't move, another back-breaking typical dayI've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes, hailstorms and driving rainAnd missing youI've worked through broken trails and busted hands, weeks without seeing dry landAnd missing youI'll work as hard as any man, but until I'm home with you againThe toughest thing out here that I go through is missing youI lay down on my bed and stare at that picture of youBarefoot on the beach looking at me the way you doI fall asleep with your letter in my handsDream about you until that old whistle starts screaming againI've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes, hailstorms and driving rainAnd missing youI've worked through broken trails and busted hands, weeks without seeing dry landAnd missing youI'll work as hard as any man, but until I'm home with you againThe toughest thing out here that I go through is missing youMissing youMissing youI'll work as hard as any man, but until I'm home with you againThe toughest thing out here that I go through is missing youSteel is wet and salt and rust, wind and water pouring byAnd missing youWaterspouts and hurricanes, hailstorms and driving rainAnd missing youSteel is wet and salt and rust, wind and water pouring byAnd missing youMissing youHailstorms and driving rain
