As I pack my car to leave A piece of my heart begins to bleed For the ones I must now leave As I pull out the drive they often cry Because they do not understand the reasons why But there is one thing no oilfield man will ever get use to And those are the words “Bye baby I love you.” Then I must drive because I know That they are the reasons that I go As the chopper leaves and I am flying high I close my eyes And ask Dear Lord I know that this is best But please be with my family while I am gone Protect them from any wrong I arrive to my iron prison Thinking of my family that I am already miss in So I begin my days of 12′s Many days seem like I am in hell But it is for them to live well I do this day in and out For my wife and kids without a doubt As the phone rings each evening I can’t wait to hear From the ones I hold so dear And then it is Daddy I love you goodnight As I hang up the phone sometimes I fight to keep the tears from my eyes And I will continue on For I know it won’t be long Until the day comes that I am back where I belong As the last day finally comes And all my work is done My prison I leave To return to the ones I need As I pull in the drive They are standing there with their arms open wide.
