David Wilcox (Canadian) - Layin' Pipe lyrics

rate me

My daddy worked construction

My brother too

He got me in the union

I'm payin' my dues

Oh but the woman I love

Has expensive taste

She's never satisfied

The latest things

A diamond ring

A car with an ultra-glide

I work so hard

Payin' for all that stuff

Eight shifts a week

It's never enough

I'm layin' pipe all night long

Layin' pipe

I'm workin' so hard

I'm layin' pipe

All night long

Layin' pipe

To satisfy that woman

I don't mind working

If the money's okay

I take the night shift

I sleep all day

Dust and mud is in my blood

Underground cable in my way

I punch a clock and start my rig

Don't know how deep I might have to dig

I wish I had a million dollars

To buy her everything she needs

She'd only come back for more and more and more and more and more and more and more

I'm layin' pipe

All night long

Layin' pipe

I'm working so hard

I'm layin' pipe

All night long

Layin' pipe

To satisfy that woman

I put the pipe in

I pull it out again

My back is so sore

I can't work much more

I can't get my traction

The ground's too wet

I take a ten minute break

Ah smoke a cigarette

I don't mind the night shift

The cool breeze when the sun goes down

Winter time the ground is hard

Take twice as long to drill down

I'm layin' pipe

All night long

Layin' pipe

I'm working so hard

I'm layin' pipe

All night long

Layin' pipe

To satisfy that woman
