Ballad Of A Pipeliner
Billy Wayne Schrock
No time for the scenic route
Cause that’s just too slow
The union hall called
And I’ve got to go
I got a job somewhere
That’s nowhere close to my home
My bags are all packed
And loaded in my truck
If I’ve forgot anything
Well that’s just tough
Cause once I’m on the road
There’ll be no turning around
There are a lot of miles to go
And the warehouse is yet to be found
When I get to where I’m goin
I’ll find me a room
And try to get some sleep
Cause morning comes soon
I’m gonna go hire in
And pray that I land a good spot
But I’m here till the end
Weather I like it or not
It’s a lonely ole life
When you’re gone away from home
Families need to be together
Not talking on the phone
But that’s the only thing you’ve got
When you’re so far away
It makes a man wonder
Why did he ever choose to live this way?
Is it even worth it
For the money I’m paid
It’s gotta cover the bills at home
And the motels where I’ve stayed
And I hope I can keep enough
To make it through one more week
Goes to show there’s no glory in this job
If it’s fame and fortune you seek
When the job is all over
And I get laid off
I’ll load my things in my truck
And top my gas tank off
Then I’m out on the road
And I’m ready to roam
No time to take that scenic route now
Cause I’m headed home

"I'm not a poem writer but this is a real good poem, and a true poem.I think all pipeliners or constrution workers that have to work away from home will love this poem and can definitely relate to it." -- Lynn Schrock, Oak Grove, LA, West Caroll.
"If you are a pipeliner or a pipeliner's wife, you can relate to this poem and it is very true. Some good and some bad things about being a pipeliner. This is good!" -- Bev, Oak Grove, US, LA.
"What can I say. For someone who is not a poet this is a very good poem. From what others have told me about pipelining all these words in the poem are so true." -- Ginger Bayless, Oak Grove, La., USA.
"This was a great poem. Reading this poem and thinking about how tuff that life must be makes me thankful that my husband gets to come home each night." -- Angie, Bush, LA.
"Hey Bill, I am impressed! I guess you find time to write poems/songs when you are not pipelining!!! Sounds great." -- Pamela Smith Neal, Ruston, LA, USA.
"This is so true! Sometimes it's exciting to go places you've never been but it's sad too that some have to leave their families behind just to make a living. Good job Billy Wayne!" -- Penny O'Neal, Forest, LA, USA.
"My Dad was a pipeliner who died away from home, age 53, in 1962. I have a photo of him in a dark hotel room with an open suitcase, his last letter and photo of his old truck with dual stacks. This song was his life. This poem brought tears to my eyes." -- Gabby, Kansas.
"How very true. I have been married to a pipeliner for 8 years now, and out of those 8 years we have lived together for one year. He is gone about 10 months out of the year, it is a tough life being married to a pipeliner but with love and trust a marriage can survive the pipeline life." -- tonya hampton, gillette, wy, usa.
"I like your poem a lot!!! It is very true. However my husband and I are lucky. We travel together. We spent a month apart last year and decided that's not for us. But your poem describes my aunt, and cousins life....I hate it for them. Families do need each other." -- Shannon, Lexington, KY, USA.
"I Love this song my fiance is a pipeliner and it sucks cause as the song says far from home always and sleeping in hotel rooms...Damn i miss him" -- Lynsey, Boswell, PA, usa.
"I LOVE this and I am sending it to my husband. I am a pipeliner's wife and this literally brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. I love it, you did such a wonderful job!" -- Kara Willis, Ohio for now, USA.
