Im currently 19, my brother derek, (my oldest) brother, had offered me a job in the oilfeild. He told me $1400 a week and i was ready to go. First real job out of highschool. We drilled 12 holes together. I was that fresh worm breaking out when he showed this song to me. He recently commited scuicide. We were bolth waiting to be called back to work to “make that pay and keep that bit spinnin to the right” as hed say. I miss that guy alot. Im supposed to be back in the feilds soon. But they will never be the same again. Gunna miss my brother. Throwin chain across pipe while he would scream get on them tongs worm! Gunna miss the screamin and yellin on that damn 1974 skytop rig. We fought alot but we took care of one another no matter what. Till we meet again...RIP Derek M Johnson . 1990-2017. Hope u watch over me out there brother

Travis Barrette, man guy I never read these comments, but I scrolled down witha flip of my thumb and this is the one i read!. Sorry for your loss guy, he had his reasons, but left you to push on. The memories, the tough love he showed you on that deck, the hootin and hollerin, the cursin, thats what will keep you moving. Maybe he wanted you to take his place an swing chains, but just know his will be on you back when you need him. He will be pushing drivin you. I lost a nephew in a car accident a few yrs back... that boy was a work horse, strong as the come. I made a few calls out to the oil fields to get him hired. On company called him in, he filled out paper work and was waiting for the call. When he was killed. The toughest call i had to make was to the company to tell them to scrtach him off their list. To this day it hurts me.. i miss that boy! Stive on man. Again sorry for your loss.

right on brother!

I've worked the fields six years running now, gone from pipeline, the a rig hand, roustabout and now an Inspector. It honestly takes me back to those long 18 hour days.

I want this on the radio as a number one hit. there's a whole nation that can relate to it, I listen to it 2-7 times a day while gauging tanks dreaming about flowback

Good tune. Excellent really, fits right in with the old ones... by Cash and Jennings. A little better actually.

ATA boy

oil man chad up in the house just sitting putting this oil into containers at the factory lmfao

I'll go bullracking before i go back behind the wheel of a water truck

Im a welder in the oil rigge

Make sure to check out the 'OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO' for Oil Man HERE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rIOnmaqiaLnaZZM.html

bear oil company!

So I'm a high school bull rider and I want to pursue it professionally but i need a way to pay the bills while I'm starting out or if I'm recovering, so I was debating, I'm a good arc welder and a hard worker so I want to know should I go out into the oil field industry, or should I become a pipeline welder, I'm willing to deal with natures elements, stress, and pain with either one, I'm just wanting to know which one will I be rewarded more with and which would be better suit for my situation. Thanks
