[Intro]
G Em C G x4
G Em
Early in the morning
C G
I get up and leave your side
G Em
I throw my bag on that chopper
C G
We take off and we fly
G Em C G
Miles out into the Gulf of Mexico
G Em C G
Right over that line where the brown water turns blue
[Intro](x2)
G Em
The guys out here joke about Jody
C G
And how he got my girl and gone
G Em
But they don't know us
C G
Nah they don't know nothing about trust
G Em
C G
And the chopper touches down
G Em
Throw my bag back in my truck
C G
And I'm your arms bound
[Chorus]
G Em
7 days home
C G
7 days gone
G Em
I'm just thinking about you
C G
On this production platform
[Intro]x2
G Em
Mark, our crane operator
C G
He had tears in his eyes today
G Em
He just stood up on the heliport
C G
Kinda looking out at the waves
G Em
He said he missed his baby girl
C G
He only got to see for a couple days
G Em
I said we're almost home buddy Mama's got her
C G
And a smile went across his face
G Em
7 days home
C G
7 days gone
G Em
I'm just thinking about you
C G
On this production platform
[Intro]x2
Am C
Well this oilfield career
Am C
It's sure been good to my family
Am C
They're the ones I think about
Am C
When it comes time to leave
Am C
One day I'll retire
Am C
And my feet won't leave the land
D
Until then I got to make a living
D
I'm a Louisiana man
