Drill Here, Drill Now

(专辑： In Overdrive - 2009)

Hello... Is anybody out there listening in Washington D.C.
This is the suffering voice of America crying out for relief
Now I don't know what a gallon of gas costs up on capitol hill
But we sure know what it cost down here in reality-ville
And the damage already done has been a mighty heavy toll
And if we're gonna fix it we gotta start right here at home

Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debating we're tired of waiting everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Every time a foreign tanker pulls up to our shore
They got us over a barrel while they bleed us a little more
And think how much it costs just to bring it all that way
And how many American jobs that'd make if we were drilling in the USA
Oh and God forbid if our oily friends should decide to cut us off

We'd be standing around with our britches down now listen to me y'all
Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debating we're tired of waiting everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Well the winds of change are blowing
Yes and we recognize that need
But tractors, trucks, cars and planes can't run on tomorrow's dreams
So while we're working on the future we can't ignore today
'Cause who knows how much time the alternative might take
Somethin's gotta be done right now 'cause friends it won't be long
Before this great big country comes grinding to a halt

Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debating we're tired of waiting everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now
