LeDoux, Chris - Ain't No Place For A Country Boy Lyrics

The song makes me long to be back in the country, the city ain’t for me

2019 , out here on pipeline running sideboom thinking of home , great song have a great day

Gotta get er on down the road son

Leaving this west Texas oilfield in the morning.

when I was 8 my aunt got me this cassette tape for my birthday. I got my mom to buy me something so I could listen to it.

GOD bless Chris best song ever heard

2 months deep on a oilfield shift. Wishing I was home. Only good music like this brings me home when I’m so far away.

David Mabry. You ain't got to work cattle or live on a ranch. I know the oilfield and for drivers we got it rough or use to anyway. I gotta' job to do and I get paid to do that job.


I too am "Oilfield Trash" and get treated like trash. I am proud of it even though people that work in the trailers look at me like I dropped the ball. Now I do hotshot in a pickup because I have pride in the job I do. I am never late because I call the rigs and let them know when I actually leave.


See Oilfield Drivers do what they can to get it there. The rigs could give a shit less about the government regs on the trucking industry. I can pick up a piece that weighs 30 pounds and go clear across the country and never stop other than for fuel and get coffee.


It is sad to say because I am a truck driver and a damn good one. 35 years there about and no accidents and never rolled a load but I cant do that anymore with a newer truck. Sorry but companies like Baker Hughes can kiss my ass. I will not download your app on my phone to track me. I will be there regardless of the regulations if I get paid. But I need to get paid for the job.


I run hotshot in a long bed pickup because I am DOT exempt. I really like to drive. Not so much money but quite a bit of pride in driving 1000 miles give or take with the only stops being piss, coffee and fuel.


If you work 20 straight hours or 40 hours straight or even 100 hours straight just do it. I was an outlaw in trucking and still am but still do what needs to be done to do the job. I take pride in that and my oilfield big trucks now run outside of the regulations and my own company begged me to keep them on. LOL, yeah right. I got to make money too. I sold all my flat, drops and stretches and do good with cows and "reefer" under my own authority.


But I like working and when I say enough then that should be good. I get so sick of people whining a crying and last week with a straight pickup truck I have 3200 dollars in waybills and busted my ass. I would rather 5000 and take the weekend off but it don't work that way though.


As a driver and not oilfield even I have spent as much as 7 months on the road and never saw home. I did my job. You never stop wishing you were home. Hell when I was younger I spend two years out of the country and started missing home. In other words home is where you make it. Half way around the globe and home was were I hung my hat. In that instance my hat that I wore for work was in Korea. I actually missed Korea.


I see the difference of people. When Chris sang this song he was honest. Not very good singing but honest. Garth Brooks ruined Chris Ledoux for me but I still remained a fan of his. For me the 90's ruined it for him but I am happy for him that he made it somewhat. I still remember the days of him singing for other cowboys and drinking beer.

Love this song

Keep her 90 up there ol son

makes me think of sissy and our three kids!
