Lyrics for anyone.. We wake the rooster up to crow A cup of coffee on the go It's gonna be a long night 17 degrees and snow I'm a roughneck hand American Touching down wells across this land Break my back in two for my Uncle Sam Tripping wet pipe till the sun goes down A through and through solid blue dirty collared man I'm a roughneck hand 600 miles away from home Your waiting by the telephone Will she even call tonight? Praying to God that she's alone But I keep on gotta keep strong Cause I'm a roughneck hand American Touching down wells across this land Break my back in two for my Uncle Sam Tripping wet pipe till the sun goes down A through and through solid blue dirty collared man I'm a roughneck hand I'm a roughneck hand That old black gold pay roll sure comes with a heavy cost I'm gonna give my family everything, and I'm gonna have to miss it all I'm a roughneck hand American Touching down wells across this land Break my back in two for my Uncle Sam Racking back pipe till the sun goes down A through an through solid blue dirty collared man Trading my days to keep my family fed I'm a roughneck hand I'm a roughneck hand

Yes sir cute song

He getting on the road a little late to be a roughneck

Bye

True pain must of went into that song. Thank you for sharing one of your masterpieces

You hard super hard with your songs I pound for you❤

I was born into the patch as I like to say. To the ppl that think us wife’s and our husbands are just in it for the money. Your wrong. It’s a lifestyle. The majority of us are conservative and enjoy sticking to our old school values. Us women have the choice to stay home, raise our babies and take care of our men. The majority of us choose to do this so our children will grow up remembering mom being able to attend events and volunteer at school functions. Also insteal what sacrifices and hard work looks like and the benefits that can come from that. We want our kids to have choices in this cruel world and not just have their life’s mapped out for them. When our men are home for their week or two, it’s nice to be able to spend every minute with them and build memories with our children. That we wouldn’t be able to do working a 9-5 Monday-Friday. We can go take that camping trip out to the lake for a week and enjoy our family without having 100s of ppl around. Sure, we like the finer things but we LOVE the little things the most. Every rough neck I’ve met isn’t content with mediocre. We are built different…. Raised differently. So just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t give you the right to try and speak negatively about it either. We dont go out of our way to talk 💩about others lifestyles. Because we are open minded enough to know that it’s different strokes for different fokes. It’s America and we are all blessed to be able to choose our life journey and we respect our neighbors. We value and love our lord and savior, or families and if your our friend, your also family. So y’all do you and our men will be out there being MEN 🤤 and we will be home waiting for them with a clean home, clean kids, bills taken care of and a hot meal. He has nothing else to do but kick back and rest while we take care of them and enjoy every minute. ✌️

finally a song that tells the working man's story. it's not all glory not always their choice not to be at a family function. but the decide to provide for there family. that's the real heroes

There was a saying my mom told me its about fisherman but it applies to this type of work to but the saying goes it takes a strong man to do that job but takes an even stronger woman to love that man

Not a Roughneck, But I spend most of my time in long nose Pete making sure my Family has a roof over their heads, food on table and what they need. Im fine sleeping in my truck so they can sleep comfy in their beds.

Ain’t no roughneck but been in industrial maintenance for almost a decade. I’m on call, worked holidays, missed so many family events, you name it. Been in so many dangerous work conditions, but being a provider and protector for my loved ones was instilled into me from a young age. From grandparent’s little farm to where I am now. Turning 28 next year but my soul is 60 ❤

I throw trash by hand bad by bag and you got Be out there in any weather with a smile on your face

It’s stunning how many could relate to the same feelings! Dax you are doing a wonderful job putting these emotions in awesome music! Thank you 🙏

Been working in the oilfield 15 years now. We definitely make sacrifices for our families, but our family sacrifices time with us too. Shoutout to all the mommas holding it down while we keep the lights on.

The sun's up almost lunchtime.. I'd say he's running late lol

im from UK....... great video showing great working class people that are the backbone of the great USA !!

My husband is trucking for Pam its a bullshit company and we're in debt for his CDLs. This is REAL music and should be playing on country stations just like old trucking songs were. An oil rig a trucker, its all symbolic ❤

Iv been a rough neck as long as I can remember it’s in our blood

Plz ask me if you need help on them rigs

Been there 🙏

Hmm, gotta shave H2S

I grew up with my dad working oilfields he'd be gone for weeks and I hated it but once I got older I realized what he sacrificed for us. He traded his memories with us for us to be able make memories in the future. Now he lives with me and my family and he's the best grandfather anyone could ask for. He is my hero.

🇵🇱🇺🇸💪

“Waiting by the telephone, Praying to god she’s alone” this man… hits deep

You wearing them soft boots... You never been in the patch... Or worked probably at all

Very nice, thank you. Wishing you all the best.

Amazing song brother thank you! 🙏🏼 literally brought tears to my eyes

This lifestyle is tough, definitely not for everyone or the delicate. Done it for a couple of months and I grew mad respect for the guys that do it. Hardest job I've ever had and I've had tough jobs..

Y’all applied for the job

By chance does anyone know any companies I'm prior oil field Just after a damn recent construction job was left abandoned with no pay I'm starting all over again I'm from Texas I have worked in the basin but am stuck in south Florida

Who is listening in 2024? 🫡

Great song. Probably top 10 favourite for me currently

I know life all to well. Best thing I ever did was twist off and leave the field , now as an commercial.electrician , I get to see my family all the time .

Dang! Nice Hit 🎉

They say younger generations are lazy. They're not, their just not willing to live their entire lives at the whim of their employers needs.

Grandparents on both sides died in my 20s, mom died in my 30s , 2 young cousins recently passed ,friends are all dead, I know, I'll write some pos song! Hey, do any of you who think this is good music and the singer, I wonder if this song is so meaningful how many of you donate to any children's charity? This guy should give all his proceeds to saint Jude, it's only right

Great song. Thank u 🇺🇲

I'm a plumber I've been out till 2am to get someone's plumbing working but atleaast I'm close to home

Thank all of u that work hard to keep our country running!!!❤

West Texas here, we feel ya!

Lived this life for 14 years hung it up last year best decision I ever made looking back I wasted a lot of time chasing money and losing time with friends and family I’ll never get back all for a damn piece of paper. Now I make more money go home everyday and never break a sweat work smarter guys not harder because at the end of the day no one gives a rats ass that you work in the oil field.

I broke out in 1990 as a floor hand and Sam Cessna was my driller, my best friend and my model plane test pilot, i helped put dirt on him not long ago. This song is a testament to our kind and our sacrifices for our families

Yeah well a lot of that is it exactly correct you choose whether or not you want to be with your family you can feed them with another job and you could be there for your family that's what they'll remember money isn't everything guy sings and acts like he's out there like he is serving in the military overseas.

We have to work 24/7 just to put the food on the table!!

That intro goes: COULDN'T MAKE IT AS A BLINDMAN

Ohfukyea I feel this!!!

Love it!!❤

Louisiana, West Texas, Wyoming, and Oklahoma. 14 days on and 1 day off. 14+ hours a day. The physical portion is fine. Mentally the hardest thing you’ll face.
