Texas Rig Welder

The beautiful arks flashes While molting metal slashes Diving deep into my flesh I reach for a much needed breath As poisonous fumes fill my lungs A welders passion threw my veins it runs So i reach down deep for i em a welder i will not retreat I've gained my respect Standpipe conductors wellheads 7018 i inject Welding all day and under a full moon light I send a prayer that lord gives me the might Weeks months away from home Hearing little voices only threw a phone I promised to make a better life for y'all I em a Texas rig welder I'm ready for any rig call
