high life

its a heck of a life out here on the road
diggin' holes and settin' high line poles
its long hot days in the desert sun
it pays a good living but aint much fun
the days drag on and the nights are short
and the time away from the ones i adore
i miss chasin that boy around the floor
and the smile on his face when i walk through the door
i miss seeing my wife at the days end
its pretty tough to be away from my best friend
i dred the sunday nights that mean i have to go
cause the next time i see them will take forever i know
as bad as it is on me i know its worse for jen
cause in her life, the days have no end
they start well before the sun comes around
and dont end till well after it goes down
i dont know how she keeps this house afloat
tween, feeding preston, holly, and our 2 goats
but she takes it all in stride her daily chores
and i know shes ready to see me walking through the door
but as i said before its a heck of a life
and i thank God that shes a heck of a wife
