My daddy worked construction
|
My brother too
|
He got me in the union
|
I'm payin' my dues
|
|
Oh but the woman I love
|
Has expensive taste
|
She's never satisfied
|
The latest things
|
A diamond ring
|
A car with an ultra-glide
|
|
I work so hard
|
Payin' for all that stuff
|
Eight shifts a week
|
It's never enough
|
|
I'm layin' pipe all night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
I'm workin' so hard
|
I'm layin' pipe
|
All night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
To satisfy that woman
|
|
I don't mind working
|
If the money's okay
|
I take the night shift
|
I sleep all day
|
|
Dust and mud is in my blood
|
Underground cable in my way
|
I punch a clock and start my rig
|
Don't know how deep I might have to dig
|
|
I wish I had a million dollars
|
To buy her everything she needs
|
She'd only come back for more and more and more and more and more and more and more
|
|
I'm layin' pipe
|
All night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
I'm working so hard
|
I'm layin' pipe
|
All night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
To satisfy that woman
|
|
I put the pipe in
|
I pull it out again
|
My back is so sore
|
I can't work much more
|
I can't get my traction
|
The ground's too wet
|
I take a ten minute break
|
Ah smoke a cigarette
|
I don't mind the night shift
|
The cool breeze when the sun goes down
|
Winter time the ground is hard
|
Take twice as long to drill down
|
|
I'm layin' pipe
|
All night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
I'm working so hard
|
I'm layin' pipe
|
All night long
|
Layin' pipe
|
To satisfy that woman
|
