[Verse 1]

My hands are dirty and my bones are tired

Sixteen hours, no relief

I thought I saw you in the dusty light

But all a man can do is dream

All the roughnecks in their muddy clothes

They’ll be drinking up a fight

But I’ll watch the light fade and hear the pump jacks groan

While I think of you tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

I was wrong for leaving

It was all that I could do

[Chorus]

So I’ll be coming back 'cause I’m tired of looking at you in a photograph

And I mean it

I’ll be flying past the fields and all the jacks 'cause all you ever asked

Was to be there, but I couldn’t be there

[Verse 2]

I hid my shame beneath the work I did

Too proud to know my wrongs from right

Like the oil that stains my weathered hands

It came bursting toward the light

[Pre-Chorus]

I was wrong for leaving

What a foolish thing to do

[Chorus]

So I’ll be coming back 'cause I’m tired of looking at you in a photograph

And I mean it

I’ll be flying past the fields and all the jacks 'cause all you ever asked

Was to be there

[Outro]

So I’ll be coming back 'cause I’m tired of looking at you in a photograph

And I mean it
