Missing You

An hour into my shift I'm covered from head to toe Drilling oil from the bottom Of the Gulf of Mexico Sun's on the rise Sweat rolling black down my face Work until I can't move Another back-breaking typical day [Chorus] I've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes Hailstorms and driving rain And missing you I've worked through broken drills And busted hands Weeks without seeing dry land And missing you 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 Missing you I lay down on my bed And stare at the picture of you Barefoot on the beach Looking at me the way you do I fall asleep with your letter in my hands Dream about you until That ol' whistle starts screaming again [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 Missing you
