D8s, and D9s gotta get em' on the line
Excavators, operators gotta them em' out on time
Labourers, and welders, greenhands, and helpers
Truckers, and floaters, super lead coaters
Buildin' a pipeline
Puttin' in my time
Gettin' the job done, and onto the next one
Rain, snow, and sunshine
Makin' a deadline
Yeah puttin' in hard time
Buildin' a mainline
Safety, and medic puttin' their time in
Security, and survey workin' night and day
Mechanics, and helpers, tophats, and hippies
Skidders, and benders; hard workin' good pay
Buildin' a pipeline
Puttin' in my time
Gettin' the job done, and onto the next one
Rain, snow, and sunshine
Makin' a deadline
Yeah puttin' in hard time
Buildin' a mainline
Blueprints, and permits, safe work habits
Workin' near wildlife; bears, snakes, and rabbits
Engineers, and designers, enviro, and grinders
Mainly all good hands, but some are just whiners
Buildin' a pipeline
Puttin' in my time
Gettin' the job done, and onto the next one
Rain, snow, and sunshine
Makin' a deadline
Yeah puttin' in hard time
Buildin' a mainline
This is oil country
