Layin' Pipe Lyrics - David Wilcox

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
