Nine steps down on a ten story ride
One part love and two parts pride
Three tons of steel with four miles to go
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
Rigged on point, the top of the tower
Watch for those waves they'll be rising fast
The call to the driller down on the shore
Derrickhand you better keep pumping that gas
No time to think of the girls in their cotton
Dresses they wear in the early springtime
Memories here they're all long forgotten
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
Now all of the boys thought you were a beauty
My motivation was a little less kind
Come with me I got something to show you
Out past the trees where the river runs wild
My oh my but you were more than I bargained
For one time at the five and dime
Spending all my nickels and quarters
One part love and two parts pride
One part love and two parts pride
You put the hammer on down, we might just make it
Watch your eyes from drifting off the road
Won't you drink 'em on down five for a dollar
Get 'em to the man with the weekly load
The rubber on the tires burning like a matchstick
Blacklist heart on a long ride home
Ain't no god just a lifetime of Sundays
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
Waters a-rising all around your mind
The slack pulling fast but you try to keep a-loose
There's a storm rolling in on New Orleans
Gonna string everybody in a hang man's noose
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
One part love and two parts pride
Three tons of steel with four miles to go
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
