Bubba Reeves - "Roughneck Hand" (Official Music Video)

[@MrSta500]

42 year old Blue collar roughneck here. Been working labor since I was 16 years old. Still to this day it's hard to wake up when that alarm goes off and it always comes too soon, but it's not about us. It's for family, a sacrifice, because we can take it, so our family doesnt have to. Great song.

[@vladsalonzo]

Keep on hammering buddy you're not alone! We see you!

[@sinofthegrim1799]

Amen

[@tonytsmith7272]

This comment makes it a little easier to put them boots on every morning 💪💯 appreciate you

[@403outdoors4]

Your a roughneck at 42?? Lmao. I love waking up knowing I'm going to the rig. The guys I work with the wells we drill the rig itself is what makes my world go round. Puts food on the table for my family and allows me to have nice trucks trailers a nice house, and a good life. It's not for everyone but this is where I belong.

[@abramsstonks6076]

is it hard to get into roughnecking? im from germany and ill move to the US in 3 years

[@andrewmoore1789]

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

[@bigpapi9676]

As a lineman, I’ve missed my son birth. Missed his first, second, and 3rd birthday. This song hit the soul hard. I’ll do anything to ensure he live comfortably. May god bless the gas/oil field brothers.

Worked for Halliburton many years. 100+ hr weeks. Holidays on the well pad. Multiple log books. Missed important family ocassions. This song covers all that. God bless the gas n oil field brothers n sisters.

[@Dafoxxy310]

Roughnecked 30 years. Worked with hundreds of men in that time. Greatest guys you could ever meet. It touched me to my core when that hand got a text from his wife saying she couldn't do it any more. Of all the different men I have known and worked with I can only count about 5 to maybe 10 whose wives didn't end up divorcing them, including my own. Many lose everything that mattered to them, some even their lives.

[@brandonmorse9953]

Closes thing I found … outside being overseas…

[@OhioGuy23]

Don't give up hope, bro! All the divorces were probably not truly meant to be in the first place.

[@juliebrakefield7917]

I'm an oilfield wife, he has had hauls that lasted months, sometimes Brazil, Nigeria, Singapore. If he is stateside, I feel lucky. There were no cell phones or internet when he first started. It takes a strong bond to get through those hauls, on both sides.

[@bigk7788]

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.

[@babsapalooza325]

Never worked an oil field, but did spend time waking the rooster as an engineer in heavy highway construction, so to an extent I get it. What a great song. “Trading my days to keep my family fed.” 🇺🇸

[@joshwongwai3532]

I worked the Oilfields from age 18 for 44 year all over the world before retiring a couple of year ago age 62. The last 20 year was living in Africa both Onshore & Offshore, spent 9 months of one year offshore Africa. You are working to support your wife and children - but it gets hard at times.... Retirement is wonderful 🙂

Such a true,sad, and real story of the oil industry.😭😭😭😭

[@kateramsey262]

They work and miss so much. Ladies, let's be kind to our hard working men. Even if it looks like they don't care, I promise they do. They work hard for us! So the next time you want to complain about them missing X, Y, & Z or that they aren't ever home...remember that they want to be there but providing for the family is everything to them. ❤

[@loganyang1207]

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 ❤

[@rase_werx]

Most people don't understand the sacrifice a man endures to provide for his family. Only for it to be thrown back at him. Stay strong brothers were in it together 💪

[@williamgrisham4466]

Been in the oilfield going on 3 decades. It’s a hard life! I have been rag dolled across the floor of a rig by a stand of pipe. It’s a miracle I am still alive. I have a great wife and that meant a lot to get through being gone. The oilfield is a world of its own. I respect all who have worked or is working in it as myself still. Good song.

I've never worked In an oil field but I work 8pm-7am 6 days a week. I hate hearing that alarm and most days I wish I could just quit but when I look at my son who Is almost five years old and he's got everything he needs and more I just can't let him down. I refuse to let him down. Whatever life has to throw at me I'll take It head first as long as he's taken care of. Great song.
