Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My hands are dirty and my bones are tired
Sixteen hours, no relief
I thought I saw you in the dusty light
But all a man can do is dream
[Verse 2]
All the roughnecks in their muddy clothes
They'll be drinking up a fight
I'll watch the light fade and hear the pump jacks groan
While I think of you tonight
[PreChorus]
I was wrong for leaving
It was all that I could do
[Chorus]
So I'll be coming back
'Cause I'm tired of looking at
You in a photograph
And I mean it
And I'll be flying past
The fears and all the jacks
'Cause all you ever asked
Was to be there
But I couldn't be there
[Verse 3]
I hid my shame beneath the work I did
Too proud to know my wrongs from right
Like the oil that stains my weathered hands
It came bursting toward the light
[PreChorus]
I was wrong for leaving
What a foolish thing to do
[Chorus]
So I'll be coming back
'Cause I'm tired of looking at
You in a photograph
And I mean it
And I'll be flying past
The fears and all the jacks
'Cause all you ever asked
Was to be there
[Outro]
So I'll be coming back
'Cause I'm tired of looking at
You in a photograph
And I mean it
