lyrics

I left Waco
Sun setting down
Loaded up hit the road
Had to get on out of town

Running tools from Houston
Headed west of San Antone
To a rig down by the border
On this highway all alone

I’m headed back to the pump jacks and old saloons
Working like a devil underneath that Texas moon

Watching this pipe go down
Some ole hole in the ground
There aint nothin’ I can’t lose
Tryin’ so hard to find
Just a piece of mind
Under this Texas moon

Headed east to Shreveport
Then south to baton rouge
At a Card game in New Orleans
A deal I can’t undo

Now I can see the flares a burning
And hear those motors growl
Get back on my feet
Wouldn’t be no harm no foul

I’m headed back to the pump jacks and old saloons
Working like a devil underneath that Texas moon

Watching this pipe go down
Some ole hole in the ground
There ain’t nothin’ I can’t lose
Tryin’ so hard to find
Just a piece of mind
Under this Texas moon

Watching this pipe go down
Another hole in the ground
There aint nothin’ I can’t lose
Tryin’ so hard to find
Just some piece of mind
Under this Texas moon

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
