INTRO:

VERSE:
            D  D
These damn rigs
         G                 A              D  D
There's times I'd like to turn and walk away
 G                A                  D  D
Pack my bags and head back home and stay
 
     Bm                           A
But something keeps on drawing me in
        D                   G
And it damn sure ain't the pay
 
                   A
Don't know what it is
                  D
'Bout these damn rigs
 
 
VERSE:
             G               A              D  D
But I got a call when I was eighteen years old
        G              A                 D  D
Just a kid out there chasing that black gold
 
         Bm                A
I got a little bit in my blood
       D              G
And a lot down in my soul
 
                     A
Maybe that's what it is
                  D
'Bout these damn rigs
 
 
CHORUS:
                G
But these damn rigs have been my family
     D
For years at a time
           D
And when things aren't going steady
      D                A  A
Just left us all in a bind
 
                 D
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
                            G  G
Is I do it for my wife and kids
 
    D                  A                    D  G  D  A
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs
 
 
VERSE:
                 D  D
Well these damn rigs
                   G             A            D  D
Have caused their fair share of trouble back home
             G             A               D  D
'Cause it's never easy to leave my woman alone
 
 Bm                 A
Tryna get back for two weeks
        D           G
Off of one goodbye kiss
 
                       A
Yeah, there's a lot I miss
               D
On these damn rigs
 
 
VERSE:
          G                  A             D  D
Like the time my little boy hit his first ball
             G         A              D  D
And when my baby girl learned how to walk
 
      Bm        A
Well someday I pray they know
      D                 G
What daddy did what he did
 
                           A
'Cause they're the reason I'm lonely
               D
In these damn rigs
 
 
CHORUS:
                G
But these damn rigs have been my family
     D
For years at a time
           D
And when things aren't going steady
      D                A  A
Just left us all in a bind
 
                 D
But through the highs and lows the only thing I know
                            G  G
Is I do it for my wife and kids
 
    D                  A                    D
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs

OUTRO:
                 D
Yet through the highs and lows the only thing I know
                           G  G
I'd do anything for those kids
    D                  A                    D  G  D  A Asus4 A  D
