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 hes pulling 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
