TWENTY MILES FROM SHORE  
(Bob Graves)
 

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

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
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

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
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

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long
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
