"loose translation of lyrics"

grew up on a southern shore
louisiana, now there ain't no more
kickin' mud off a craw fish hole
bare footed with a fishing pole
make a living with my own two hands
i guess it's part of being who i am
going back to the oil field
that's the only way to pay my bills
if i'm lucky i can have a son
take him hunting like my daddy done
get to working on a fishing boat
up and down the gulf of mexico

every day out on a deep sea rig
doing what it is i have to live
oil bleeding from a gaping hole
up and down the gulf of mexico
Morgan City out to Mobile Bay
Pascagula down to FLA
still i'm stuck out here for seven more
watchin everything turn black off shore
brother, even if we cap the well
said it's just another oil spill
way of life won't be around no more
all I wanted was to go back home

went to class so he could get a job
now he's waiting over at the dock
don't you tell me bout your money spent
tell me how you're going to clean this mess
tell the banker i don't want a loan
send the lawyers back to where their from
even jesus couldn't save their soul
put me back out on that fishing boat

even after they've done capped the well
seen the perpetrators all in jail
there's 11 of us lost our lives
just so you could get to work on time
yeah we're gonna have to clean the place
leave us something 'cept for toxic waste
killing everything before it grows
up and down the gulf of mexico

kickin' mud off a craw fish hole
bare footed with a fishing pole
going back to the oil fields
that's the only way to pay my bills
