Twenty Miles From Shore Chords & Lyrics - Hawkshaw Hawkins

[C]On a drilling rig twenty [F]miles at sea

The [G7]lights on land are calling [C]me

I'm way out here twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long

[G7]I miss Sherrie I [C]wanna go home

I'm way out here twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue


I'll bet Sherrie's making [F]crawfish pie

[G7]Waiting for me with tears in her [C]eyes

But here I am twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long

[G7]I miss Sherrie I [C]wanna go home

I'm way out here twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue


The next boat by going [F]back to land

[G7]I'm gonna leave this rig minus one good [C]hand

I don't like it out here twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue

Well the twenty one days don't seem so long

[G7]I miss Sherrie I [C]wanna go home

I'm way out here twenty [F]miles from shore

I'd [G7]give six months pay for a little [C]pirogue
