Roughest Neck Around

He got a real long reach in the derrick when he leans He's been all around the world on the big oil rigs With the welders and the trucks on the black gold rush And the diesel burnin' Cat motors growlin' and the mud You'd 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 its 98 above And he's workin' thru it all, cuz baby this is what he loves Drives a hundred-fifty miles make sure his kids are doin' fine And he sees 'em when he can but he's married to his iron You'd 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. He's a good hand to have on, and he's throwin' 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 ya gotta figure Eddy's got his mud weight right You'd better hire him on cuz he's better than the rest He got the power in his hands and the dragons 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 Takin' fuel from the tanks on his short change shift You'd 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, you'd better hire him on cuz he's better than the rest He got the power in his heart and the dragons in his chest Yeah He brings the power to the people Power to the people Cuz he's the roughest neck around He's pullin' dragons from the ground
