D
[Verse]
D G
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
D A D
One part love and two parts pride
D G
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
D A D
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
[Interlude]
D
[Verse]
D G
Rigged on point, top of the tower
D A D
Watch for those waves they’ll be rising fast
D G
Call to the driller down on the shore
D A D
Derrickhand you better keep pumping that gas
[Chorus]
G
No time to think of the girls in their cotton
D
Dresses they wear in the early springtime
G
Memories here they’re all long forgotten
G A D
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
A D
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
[Interlude]
D
[Verse]
D G
All of the boys, thought you were beauty
D A D
My motivation was a little less kind
D G
Come with me I got something to show you
D A D
Out past the trees where the river runs wild
[Chorus]
G
My oh my you were more than I bargained
D
For one time at the five and dime
G
Spending all my nickels and quarters
G A D
One part love and two parts pride
A D
One part love and two parts pride
[Interlude]
D
[Verse]
D G
Put the hammer on down, we might just make it
D A D
Watch your eyes, from drifting off the road
D G
Drink ‘em on down, five for a dollar
D A D
Get it to the man with the weekly load
[Chorus]
G
The rubber on the tires burning like a matchstick
D
Blacklist heart on a long ride home
G
Ain’t no god just a lifetime of Sundays
G A D
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
A D
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
[Interlude]
D
[Verse]
D G
Waters rising, all around your mind
D A D
The slack pulling fast but you try to keep loose
D G
There’s a storm rolling in on, New Orleans
D A D
Gonna string everybody in a hang man’s noose
[Chorus]
G
Nine steps down on a ten story ride
D
One part love and two parts pride
G
Three tons of steel and four miles to go
G A D
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
G A D
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
A D
Sinking them down in the Gulf of Mexico
