[Verse 1]
Steel toes in the red dirt
Sun stuck high like it’s on hold
Hard hats stacked on the toolbox
Paycheck smellin’ like crude and gold
We clock out
Kick dust off
Toss the chairs from the truck bed
Somebody sparks up that old pit
And all the long week leaves my head
[Chorus]
Barbecue on the oilfield
Smoke in the sky
Grease on my fingers
Friends by my side (yeah)
Burnt ends
Big grins
Letting time stand still
Cold cans clinkin’ by the grill
Barbecue on the oilfield
That’s the deal
[Verse 2]
Rib rub on a tailgate
Brisket sweat in the evening heat
That one song on the radio
Got us stompin’ right in the gravel beat
You’re laughin’ ‘bout the foreman
I’m talkin’ ‘bout a raise someday
But for now it’s meat on the metal
And every trouble just melts away
[Chorus]
Barbecue on the oilfield
Smoke in the sky
Grease on my fingers
Friends by my side (come on)
Burnt ends
Big grins
Letting time stand still
Cold cans clinkin’ by the grill
Barbecue on the oilfield
That’s the deal
[Bridge]
Flames dance
Shadows long
We all sing the wrong words to the same song (hey!)
Black gold under our boots
But tonight this fire’s our only loot
[Chorus]
Barbecue on the oilfield
Smoke in the sky
Grease on my fingers
Friends by my side
Burnt ends
Big grins
Letting time stand still
Cold cans clinkin’ by the grill
Barbecue on the oilfield
Barbecue on the oilfield
That’s the deal
