Missing You

An hour into my shirt

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

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 that 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

I've weathered waterspouts

And hurricanes

Hailstorms and drivin' rain

And missing you

I've worked through broken

Drills and busted hands

Weeks without seein' 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

Missing you 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

And missing you

And missing you

And missing you missing you
