Aaron Tippin - Drill Here, Drill Now lyrics

rate me

Hello…..Is anybody out there listenin’ in Washington D.C.

This is the suffering voice of America crying out for relief

Now I don’t know what a gallon of gas costs up on capitol hill

But we sure know what it cost down here in reality-ville

And the damage already done has been a mighty heavy toll

And if we’re gonna fix it we gotta start right here at home

Drill here, drill now

How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow

No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud

Drill here, drill now

Every time a foreign tanker pulls up to our shore

They got us over a barrel while they bleed us a little more

And think how much it costs just to bring it all that way

And how many American jobs that’d make if we were drillin’ in the USA

Oh and God forbid if our oily friends should decide to cut us off

We’d be standin’ around with our britches down now listen to me ya’ll

Drill here, drill now

How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow

No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud

Drill here, drill now

Well the winds of change are blowin’

Yes and we recognize that need

But tractors, trucks, cars and planes can’t run on tomorrow’s dreams

So while we’re workin’ on the future we can’t ignore today

Cuz who knows how much time the alternative might take

Somethin’s gotta be done right now cuz friends it won’t be long

Before this great big country comes grinding to a halt

Drill here, drill now

How ‘bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow

No more debatin’ we’re tired of waitin’ everybody shout out loud

Drill here, drill now
