C             Csus4          C 
Why am I much younger than I feel? 
      Am               G                C 
Can't blame a baseball wound that never healed, 
  Am             G           F            C 
I couldn't hit a curve, so I had to go to work, 
Am                      F           C      C 
10 years that I've been in this oil field. 
 

 
        C                     F                C 
And the few days that I'm off work, they go by quick, 
      Am                   G                C 
And I swore this job would stop when we had kids, 
    Am             G                     F         C 
Oh, I want to be around, but there ain't nobody in town, 
     Am           G            C      C 
That pays half as much as this rig. 
 

 
        Am             G 
So I'll fill my diesel truck, 
    F              C 
Try not to damn my love, 
Am                    G               C 
Packed my longings so I can say: Put down!, 
     Am                   G 
As I fight these out west winds, 
     F           C 
I'll pencil up a plane, 
   Am               G                C 
To never wear these steel toe boots again.

     C              F             C 
Will someday soon I hope I have enough. 
    Am              G               C 
I'm sick of missing all of my kids stuff. 
    Am                G             F              C 
I'm one for three all talking in my kids Christmas Eve. 
      Am                G            C 
Yeah, someday soon I've got to have enough. 
 

 
        Am             G 
So I'll fill my diesel truck. 
    F              C 
Try not to damn my love, 
Am                    G               C 
Packed my longings so I can say: Put down!, 
     Am                   G 
As I fight these out west winds, 
     F           C 
I'll pencil up a plane, 
   Am               G                C 
To never wear these steel toe boots again.

          C                 F                   C 
when that truck says that I don't drive I'll go home, 
         Am             G              C 
And I'll never leave my wife and not alone, 
     Am           G           F                C 
I'll share simple things like coaching my kids team 
    Am               G                C 
And never wear these steel toe boots again, 
         Am               G               F       C 
No, I'll never wear these steel toe boots, never again, 
Am               G                C 
Never wear these steel toe boots again,
