Twenty Miles From Shore

On a drilling rig twenty miles at sea

The lights on land are calling me

I’m way out here twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue

I miss Sherrie I wanna go home

I’m way out here twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue

I’ll bet Sherrie’s making crawfish pie

Waiting for me with tears in her eyes

But here I am twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue

I miss Sherrie I wanna go home

I’m way out here twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue

The next boat by going back to land

I’m gonna leave this rig minus one good hand

I don’t like it out here twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue

I miss Sherrie I wanna go home

I’m way out here twenty miles from shore

I’d give six months pay for a little pirogue
