Johnny Cash - Roughneck Lyrics

I missed everything big in life for that oilfield dollar. When I die probably won’t be missed much. I never was and still am not around much.

I chose roughnecking as my last option to make a living. Literally it’s slavery for oil. It’s not worth the the beating on your body

Mikel Phillips not with that attitude boy, go make your self a round trip like I did in North Dakota

I did some drilling when I was 25 and it kicked my butt. Very hard work.

I play cash and feel better after a rough day or finish off a great day on a high
Country music by dode

Story of my goddamn life. Ah well.

Yeah some ppl are roughnecks as for me I bring it hard like a tombstone leave u to rest or pur ya in ur best coma make ya fight for ur life while it's on the line while I be calling ur bitch on ur phoneline and ur life support machine would make u see it in ur coma dreams and when u come out of it that would pass u by know u thought it was a dream and when ur bitch has a kid don't look like u then that u will know so put on the same gear soldier up boy

going in a boy coming out a hard sum bitch

I am up at 7am after workin 13hr shift. I go back in today at 4pm and work till 6 am . Another 15 hr shift

Metal Brain Good honest work. Stay safe brother

Thanks bud

35 hours 6 hours of sleep

Well I started working like a regular man when I was just about knee high

Theme song for ole Cromwell Oklahoma

Damn proud of working in the oil field!!

back when men were men i'm 33 yo and there's damb few of us left with dry rough hands

John Kroner if they get to dry soak em in cider or insideher 😘

and how old are you

I'm 35 and can sand a 2x4 with my bare hands as my dad and grandpa said it. I've been around so much diesel and grease it's part of my blood now. I was raised if you aint bruised and bleeding you don't earn that beer at the end of the day. Y'all have a blessed weekend.

Never seen a 28'000 ft well in Oklahoma not saying there isn't I ran pipe on a 26'000 in eastern ok

Make em bitte

Reminds me of my grandpop

Grow up to be some numale faggot working at starbucks for 12$ an hour, while my usless degree is gathering dust? Or being a fucking man in the 21st century. Its not a hard choice and ill stick by it. I like my truck, good looking wife, and medicore house and i wouldn't trade it for a false sense of superiority any day.

I worked the last 2 standard oil derricks in the country, Parker 45 and Parker 52. We drilled a 28,000 foot hole in Okla. and then scrapped out 45. Then we drilled a 27,000 ft. hole there and scrapped out old 52. Now those were 2 good rigs, they just cost too much to move. Was on a few when they blew out and burned the rig down and I worked on Parker 201, largest rig in the world for a while, too much scrubbing and too many TV crews out to film it for the news. We did get a hole down 36,700 feet in Sayer Okla. Great job if you were crazy and liked working 12 hrs. a day 7 days a week.

Did any of those holes produce anything other than calluses? I worked on the last National drilling rig working in the U.S. in Troy Pa. It was a #3 metal rig, we drilled 7500 ft and was the only cable right to hit the Marcellus shale. The pressure was so high it blew the tooling out of the hole. We all took off running like crazy!

It's in the Blood. You got it or you don't. You wanna work?
Get your rear end out here we'll make a hand out of you.
Or break you on the way.

zachery mcclure amen brother I'm a roughneck commercial hvac is what I do for a living

I worked on a rig in Midland Texas. Unfortunately I got let go for self defense. I miss the work. It sucks im not out there now!! Hard work but it sucks I actually miss it and hope to get on another rig soon

Oilfield Trash

You fucking wurms are eating -up the oilpatch, +dennis Wilcox‼
You stupid POS. 💩

Come to ontario I'm a hard working guy helping people to get back work selling them cheap reliable cars a mans as only as good as his word you're word is a pos

Are you really experienced, or are you just another poseur?
FYI: "Oilfield Trash" is a colloquial term of endearment.
Meanwhile, at the Knowledge-Box is, +dennis Wilcox, the "honest" used-car salesman from Ontario, attempts to educate someone who broke-out as a roughneck in the days of yore; back when the derricks were made of wood,and the men were made of iron. I've worked on offshore, and land-based drilling rigs all over the world, just like my father before me, my brother, and my eldest son as well; and we all proudly answer to the moniker of 'oilfield-trash'.

Wise-up you freakin' moron‼ ┌∩┐ (◣◢) ┌∩┐
