Roughest Neck Around

You got a real long reach in the derrick when he leans

You been a all around the world on the big oil rigs

With the welders and the trucks on the black gold rush

And the diesel burning Cat motors growling in the mud

You better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around

He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground, yeah

It's 35 below or it's 98 above

And he's working through it all 'cause, baby

This is what he loves

Drives a hundred fifty miles, make sure his kids are doing fine

And he sees them when he can but he's married to his iron

You better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around

He got the power in his hands, he's pulling the dragons from the ground, yeah

He's a good hand to have on and he's throwing on the tongs

Spinnin' chain and slidin' high side all night long

And he's tripping in his pipe and he torques it good and tight

And you gotta figure Eddy's got his mud weight right

You better hire him on, 'cause he's better than the rest

He got the power in his hands and the dragon's in his chest, yeah

Well his mind's a little tired but his back is plenty strong

Got his green Kings and filthy frozen coveralls on

And he's drilling by the inch and he's hauling on the winch

Taking fuel from the tanks on his short change shift

You better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around

He got the power in his hands to pull the dragons from the ground

You better hire him on, 'cause he's better than the rest

He got the power in his heart and the dragon's in his chest, yeah

He brings the power to the people

Power to the people

'Cause he's the roughest neck around

He's pulling dragons from the ground

He gives power to the people

Get power to the people

He's the roughest neck around
