"Workout City"
Well they blew up the drilling man in Midland last night, now
they laid down his rig too
Down in the oil patch they're gettin' ready for the
recession, gonna see what them landmen can do
Now there's crude tankin' in from Arabia and the WTI it
ain't no relief
Getting to be lonely out on the drilling pad and the oil
commission's agenda is oh so brief
Even oil prices fall baby that's a fact
But maybe every dollar that falls someday comes back
Ready your PowerPoint fix your balance sheet up pretty and meet me
tonight in Workout City
Well I got a credit line and tried to put my money away
But I got JIBs that no honest man can pay
So I agreed to be on the PE dole
And I hired two rigs for that wildcatter roll
Even oil prices fall baby that's a fact
But maybe every dollar that falls someday comes back
Ready your PowerPoint fix your balance sheet up pretty and meet me
tonight in Workout City
Now our luck may have died and our reserves may be shot but in
the biz forever I'll stay
We're goin' out where the reservoirs once were gold so put
on your boots cause the snow's gettin' deep and maybe even
oil prices fall
That's a fact but maybe every dollar that falls someday comes
back
Now I been lookin' for an investor but money's hard to
find
Down here it's just gushers and dry holes and don't get
caught on the wrong side of that line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
So honey last night I met this VC and I'm gonna sell my soul
to him
Well I guess even oil prices fall baby that's a fact
But maybe every dollar that falls someday comes back
Ready your PowerPoint fix your balance sheet up pretty and meet me
tonight in Workout City
