I remember my old man

He worked in the oil fields

And I could never understand why

Driving home at sundown

Making just enough to get us by

"Pray out loud, make us proud, and son don't forget where you come from."

Oceans of oil fields

And my hands get dirty every day
D MajorD
A augmentedA big house in San Antone
D MajorD
I'm living the good life

But my home seems far away
