Pipeline Blues

Lyrics

[Verse]
Blake’s been pacing 'round the sand pit, cursing at the sun,
Eyes are red from lack of sleep, the work is never done.
Luke and Barry pullin' wrenches, Tyler on the line,
Alexis keeps the coffee hot, we’re runnin' out of time.

[Chorus]
Pipeline blues, oh, we're feelin' the strain,
Fixing up the broken dreams, workin' through the pain.
Mud and sweat upon our brows, no easy way around,
Pipeline blues, we're battlin' hard, prayin' not to drown.

[Verse]
Luke’s been knee-deep in the dirt, hands are calloused, worn,
Barry’s got the blowtorch out, weldin’ up where it’s torn.
Tyler’s eyes are sharp and keen, checking every bolt,
Alexis wipes her forehead, keeps that spirit bold.

[Chorus]
Pipeline blues, oh, we're feelin' the strain,
Fixing up the broken dreams, workin' through the pain.
Mud and sweat upon our brows, no easy way around,
Pipeline blues, we're battlin' hard, prayin' not to drown.

[Verse]
Blake just slammed his good ol' hat, says we ain't got long,
Pressure’s risin' in the pit, we gotta stay strong.
Luke and Barry share a look, determination grows,
Tyler cracks a knowing grin, we’re fightin' ‘til the close.

[Chorus]
Pipeline blues, oh, we're feelin' the strain,
Fixing up the broken dreams, workin' through the pain.
Mud and sweat upon our brows, no easy way around,
Pipeline blues, we're battlin' hard, prayin' not to drown.
