On a drilling rig twenty miles at sea
G7 C
The lights on land are calling me
F
I'm way out here twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
G7 C
I miss Sherrie I wanna go home
F
I'm way out here twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
F
I'll bet Sherrie's making crawfish pie
G7 C
Waiting for me with tears in her eyes
F
But here I am twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
G7 C
I miss Sherrie I wanna go home
F
I'm way out here twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
F
The next boat by going back to land
G7 C
I'm gonna leave this rig minus one good hand

I don't like it out here twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
G7 C
I miss Sherrie I wanna go home
F
I'm way out here twenty miles from shore
G7 C
I'd give six months pay for a little pirogue
