[Verse 1]
Six a.m
Yard dust rising
Coffee in a stained foam cup
White F-150 comes rolling
Every hard hat straightens up
Name tag says “Brown
” we call him “Boss”
Steel toes hit the ground
Tape on his Skechers
Grit on his grin
He owns this whole damn town
[Chorus]
Roy Brown and the Byard boys
Rattlesnake
King Kong
Jojo making noise
From the dirt road gate to the last bolt down
He rules that yard like a one-horse town
White Ford shining in the floodlight glow
Skechers kicking up the gravel
Taking control
He’s gunning for the top
Never backing down
That’s Roy Brown and the Byard boys
[Verse 2]
Rattlesnake laughs at danger
King Kong lifts what cranes won’t touch
Jojo’s got a wrench and a bad idea
They all trust that man too much
Clipboard
Pencil
Calloused hands
He points and the steel starts to move
“Byard on my back
My boys at my side
We got nothing left to prove”
[Chorus]
Roy Brown and the Byard boys
Rattlesnake
King Kong
Jojo making noise
From the dirt road gate to the last bolt down
He rules that yard like a one-horse town
White Ford shining in the floodlight glow
Skechers kicking up the gravel
Taking control
He’s gunning for the top
Never backing down
That’s Roy Brown and the Byard boys
[Bridge]
He says
“One more job
Then we’re number one
One more mile
And this crew’s done won”
But the truth is simple
Under hardhat skies
All he really wants
Is the pride in their eyes (yeah)
[Chorus]
Roy Brown and the Byard boys
Rattlesnake
King Kong
Jojo making noise
From the time clock punch to the closing sound
He rules that yard like a one-horse town
White Ford waiting by the chain-link row
Skechers on the pedal when it’s time to go
He’s gunning for the top
Wearing steel and a crown
That’s Roy Brown
That’s Roy Brown and the Byard boys
