[Verse 1]
First flake hits my old front porch
Thermometer stuck way down low
Coffee in a cup, Carhartt coat
Steel-toe boots, time to go
They call me the Man of Concrete
Pourin’ driveways all summer long
But winter drops a white wall on this town
I trade my trowel for a shovel and a song (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snow
Big storm comin’, watch me go
Clearing out the drifts like they weigh nothin’ at all
Front steps, back roads, answer every call
If your wheels start spinnin’, if you’re stuck and froze
Just holler my name, I’ll be there, ten toes
Built like a wall, with a heart that’s warm
Man of Concrete in the eye of the storm (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Wind howlin’ down Main like a freight train ghost
Plows can’t keep up with the whiteout roll
Church lot buried, mom-and-pop closed
Kids can’t play if they can’t leave home
I’m throwin’ that snow like a bag of sand
Each scoop flyin’ higher than the flagpole stand
Beard full of frost, but my grip don’t slip
Every driveway clear, that’s another life lift
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snow
Big storm comin’, watch me go
Clearing out the drifts like they weigh nothin’ at all
Front steps, back roads, answer every call
If your wheels start spinnin’, if you’re stuck and froze
Just holler my name, I’ll be there, ten toes
Built like a wall, with a heart that’s warm
Man of Concrete in the eye of the storm
[Bridge]
I ain’t chasin’ glory, I ain’t chasin’ pay
Just don’t like seein’ good folks locked away
From the mailbox out to the old state line
I’m plowin’ a path in my own spare time (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the Man of Concrete in the snow
Big storm comin’, watch me go
Clearing out the drifts like they weigh nothin’ at all
Front steps, back roads, answer every call
If your lights go dimmin’, if your hope runs low
Just look down the street at the flying snow
Built like a wall, with a heart that’s warm
Man of Concrete holdin’ strong through the storm
