Bryan Martin - These Damn Rigs: chords

            D
These damn rigs
         G                 A              D
There's times I'd like to turn and walk away
 G                A                   D
Pack my bags and head back home and stay
     Bm                           A
But something keeps on drawing me in
        D                   G
And it damn sure ain't the pay
                   A
Don't know what it is
                  D
'Bout these damn rigs

             G               A              D
But I got a call when I was eighteen years old
        G              A                 D
Just a kid out there chasing that black gold
         Bm                A
I got a little bit in my blood
       D              G
And a lot down in my soul
                     A
Maybe that's what it is
                  D
'Bout these damn rigs

Chorus:
                G
But these damn rigs have been my family
     D
For years at a time
           D
And when things aren't going steady
      D                A
Just left us all in a bind
                 D
But through the highs and lows the only thing
I know
                            G
Is I do it for my wife and kids
    D                  A                    D G D A
But I thank God every night for these damn rigs

Well these damn rigs
Have caused their fair share of trouble back home
'Cause it's never easy to leave my woman alone
Tryna get back for two weeks
Off of one goodbye kiss
Yeah, there's a lot I miss
On these damn rigs

Like the time my little boy hit his first ball
And when my baby girl learned how to walk
Well someday I pray they know
What daddy did what he did
'Cause they're the reason I'm alone
In these damn rigs

Chorus - x2

                 D
Yet through the highs and lows the only thing
I know
                           G
I'd do anything for those kids
    D                  A                   D G D A D
And I thank God every night for these damn rigs
