The Roughneck Song, by Billy Lee Ackerley, was recorded for his The Beginning album. Later, it was also included on his Space Age Cowboy album, which was recorded in Nashville with Whisperin Bill Anderson's band. Billy wrote it in 1982, and it is about his experiences in the oil patch when he was a motor man. A hard job, but one he liked. The song was recorded, published, produced, and copyrighted by Billy Lee Ackerley. It is one of his favorites, and is popular with roughnecks.
