Lyrics
Black Gold Runs Through My Veins
Born in the heat of the Texas sun
Where machines run wild
I had no choice what I would do
I was an oil field child
I learned all I needed
From my family
To be part of this life
Thats all I could see
From the day I was born---------- Chorus
Black gold ran through my veins
Thicker than any blood
No way I can explain
Generations long before
Worked those fields of dust
Sometimes the riches flowed
Sometimes we all went bust
The life was never easy
Death was never far away
One slip up on the rig
We would have to pay
We were born to live it
It brought lots of joy
To many others like me
We were wildcat boys
From the day I was born---------- Chorus
Black gold ran through my veins
Thicker than any blood
No way I can explain
Generations long before
Worked those fields of dust
Sometimes the riches flowed
Sometimes we all went bust
Spud wrenches fit our callused hands------------------------ Bridge
Like they were meant to do
And how we feel when geysers spout
Youll never have a clue
Instrumental Break
From the day that I was born---------- Chorus
Black gold ran through my veins
Thicker than any blood
No way I can explain
Generations long before
Worked those fields of dust
Sometimes the riches flowed
Sometimes we all went bust
Sometimes we all went bust
Sometimes we all went bust
