Pipeliner

I suffered today and the last 25

Killing my time killing my spine chasing these lines

I find the piping come easy and love be the hard

There's a woman beside me, she don't mind me being married to work

She more patient than the cocaine made me

I got anxiety, no piety, king of the fighting the steel

Pipeliner

We're the hard timers

You can take it from me

Till I've had my plenty

I'll be on a pipeline

Snorted my per diem on the way home from Odessa

Born to build, build for the pay, yet I disassemble

Oh that woman counts on me with a babe we both love

She can count all she wants but it wont ever add up to much

Pipeliner

We're the hard timers

You can take it from me

Till I've had my plenty

I'll be on a pipeline

I ain't climbing no mountain

Or diggin' for coal

When I'm getting' rich

Chasing that crude oil

Ain't a dollar I wont take

Ain't a coin I wont bag

You can bet I'll set the pace

When it's time to drag

In '05 I took an oath

to my true love

And every dollar I spend

Calls me right back to her

Pipe Liner

We're the hard timers

You can take it from me

Till I've had my plenty

I'll be on a pipeline

Pipe Liner

We're the hard timers

You can take it from me

Till I've had my plenty

I'll be on a pipeline

'Til the I day I die I'll be on a pipeline

Have mercy on me and that pretty wife of mine

'Til the I day I'll be on this pipeline
