Lyrics:
Grew up on the southern shore Louisiana now there ain’t no morekickin’ mud off up a crawfish hole barefooted with a fishin’ pole
Make a living with my own two hands, hell, it’s part of being who I am.
Went to workin’ in the oil fields that’s the only way to pay our bills
and if I’m lucky I can have a son take him hunting like his daddy done.
Get him workin’ on a shrimpin’ boat up and down the Gulf of Mexico.
Eleven dead out on a deep sea rig doin’ what it is they had to live,
oil bleeding from a gaping hole, up and down the Gulf of Mexico.
Morgan City down to Mobile Bay Pascagoula down to FLA.
Still I’m stuck out here for 7 more, watching everything turn black offshore,
and brother even if they cap the well, hell it’s just another oil spill…
Our way of life won’t be around no more, and all I wanted was to go back home.
Little brother he ain’t feeling well, what you spraying on that oil spill?
How many of us gonna lose our lives, before the people get to work on time?
Kickin’ mud up off a crawfish hole barefooted with a fishing pole,
goin’ back into the oil fields that’s the only way to pay our bills…
