The Lone Star Drifters

Oil Patch Blues

A bluesy Americana song by The Lone Star Drifters, digging into Texas oil fields.

Oil patch blues, where the derricks stand tall
Call

Strings twang for the black gold's flow
Slow

Chorus

Oil patch blues, sing the roughneck's cry
Sky

Americana hearts ache for the oil's dark gleam
Dream

Flames of torchlight, burn the night so deep
Keep

In the blues, find the soul's hard grind
Mind

Chorus

Oil patch blues, sing the roughneck's cry
Sky

Americana hearts ache for the oil's dark gleam
Dream

Bridge

When the patch runs dry, the drifter moves on
Dawn

Oil patch blues, in the morning gone

Outro

Oil patch blues, eternal toil
Soil
