[Verse 1]
Steel in my hands
Dust on my jeans
Clock on the wall
Keeps stealing my dreams
I punch in at dawn
Walk out past dark
Carry this weight
Like a flame in my heart
[Chorus]
I’m a hard working man
I deserve to be loved
Got dirt on my boots
But my heart’s soft enough
Just chasing some kindness
A place I can breathe
I’m looking for happiness
I’m looking for peace
[Verse 2]
Pay all the bills
Forget about me
Smile for the world
Then fall to my knees
I hold every door
Still stand in the cold
Waiting on someone
To say
“You’re not alone”
[Chorus]
I’m a hard working man
I deserve to be loved
Got dirt on my boots
But my heart’s soft enough
Just chasing some kindness
A place I can breathe
I’m looking for happiness
I’m looking for peace
[Bridge]
Is there a light on
At somebody’s home?
Room at the table
For a man made of bones?
If you can see me
Hear this small plea
I’ll give all I have
If you’ll just stay with me (oh, stay with me)
[Chorus]
I’m a hard working man
I deserve to be loved
Got dirt on my boots
But my heart’s soft enough
Just give me some kindness
A place I can breathe
I’m looking for happiness
I’m looking for peace
Yeah
I’m looking for happiness
I’m looking for peace
