David Wilcox Layin` Pipe Lyrics

Layin` Pipe Lyrics

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
