Then I Can Look After Them More Poem by Wei Chao

Coming off offshore drilling rig,
After the four-week rotation,
It's like a relief from a brig,
I'm drained, I need relaxation.

After the four-week rotation,
A roughneck's life on oil patch ride,
I'm drained, I need relaxation.
It's a tough job, but I take pride.

A roughneck's life on oil patch ride,
I started right after high school,
It's a tough job, but I take pride,
It's time for my online school.

I started right after high school,
Need to support my younger three,
It's time for my online school,
My goal is an uni degree.

Need to support my younger three,
I didn't spend a penny offshore,
My goal is an uni degree,
Then I can look after them more.

I didn't spend a penny offshore,
I need saving, we'll buy a house,
Then I can look after them more,
No more renting, we'll buy a house.
