Píseň: Roughneck

Interpret:
Johnny Cash
Album:
Blood, Sweat And Tears
Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin'
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor


Well I was born in a boomer shack bout a half mile from town
Papa was a driller on a wildcat crew and my mama never was around
I learn to cuss when I was two and fight when I was three
And by the time I was five there was no kid alive could ever get the best of me


Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin'
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor


Well I started workin' like a regular man when I was just about knee high
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands but they never heard me cry
I remember walkin' down the road and hearin' somebody say
He was born to live a rougneck's life and he's never gonna change his ways


Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin'
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor


Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin'
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor
