Roughneck

A
Born to be a roughneck I'll
E
Never amount to nothin'
E                               B7    E
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor


E
Well I was born in a boomer shack
E
Bout a half mile from town
E
Papa was a driller on a wildcat crew
       F#               B7
And my mama never was around
E
I learn to cuss when I was two
E
And fight when I was three
E
And by the time I was five there was
                        B7              E
No kid alive could ever get the best of me

E
Well I started workin' like a regular
E
Man when I was just about knee high
E
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare
F#                 B7
Hands but they never heard me cry
E
I remember walkin' down the road
E
And hearin' somebody say
E
He was born to live a rougneck's life
                     B7              E
And he's never gonna change his ways
