[length: 03:41]
[00:12.15]Ever since my little girl was two years old
[00:15.78]Been on a rig chasing that black gold and the times flew bye
[00:20.97]Brings a tear to a roughneck’s eye
[00:24.86]I do what I can to make ends meet
[00:28.07]Out there on the rig for those two weeks, but when I get home
[00:33.26]I see what I missin’ when I’m gone
[00:36.92]’Cause I miss birthdays and holidays too
[00:40.61]Their first words and first days of school
[00:43.45]You know it’s hard on them, but it’s hard on me too
[00:49.04]Because these callused hands and big paychecks
[00:53.38]Won’t buy back the things I’ve missed
[00:55.75]But I know someday, I’ll tell ’em some way
[01:01.79]I missed half their life to give ’em one I never had
[01:07.62]It ain’t easy being an oilfield dad
[01:13.13]
[01:19.68]I count down the days while I’m gone
[01:22.93]She sends me pictures on the phone of her and the kids
[01:27.88]And they’re blowing me a kiss
[01:31.55]I just put on my boots and get back to work
[01:35.13]Covered in oil, blood, sweat, and dirt and I think of them
[01:40.37]Until I’m home again
[01:43.77]’Cause I miss birthdays and holidays too
[01:47.65]Their first words and first days of school
[01:50.36]You know it’s hard on them, but it’s hard on me too
[01:56.26]Because these callused hands and big paychecks
[01:59.75]Won’t buy back the things I’ve missed
[02:02.96]But I know someday, I’ll tell ’em some way
[02:08.83]I missed half their life to give ’em one I never had
[02:14.99]It ain’t easy being an oilfield dad
[02:19.99]
[02:39.63]’Cause I miss birthdays and holidays too
[02:43.75]Their first words and first days of school
[02:46.54]You know it’s hard on them, but it’s hard on me too
[02:52.38]Yeah, these callused hands and big paychecks
[02:56.13]Won’t buy back the things I’ve missed
[02:58.92]But I know someday, I’ll tell ’em some way
[03:04.84]That I missed half their life to give ’em one I never had
[03:11.30]It ain’t easy being an oilfield dad
[03:17.58]It ain’t easy being an oilfield dad
