[Verse 1]
Some folks are out there driving trucks all night,
Some swing a hammer, some build with light.
Some paint the walls, some lay down steel,
All chasing a dream, all trying to heal.
Weekdays roll into weekends too,
Doing what they can for the ones they love true.
Working fast, working hard, making it right,
Hearts back home every day, every night.
[Chorus]
We miss them, and they miss us too,
Counting the minutes ‘til the workday’s through.
Every mile, every shift, every sacrifice,
Is for a better tomorrow, a brighter life.
It ain’t forever, it’s only once in awhile,
Till we’re back home, wrapped up in a smile.
[Verse 2]
Nurses on call, soldiers overseas,
Teachers stay late, farmers plant seeds.
Hands get tired, but the love runs deep,
Pictures of family are what they keep.
It’s the same story in a million ways,
Workin’ through the nights, through the longest days.
We’d trade it all for a Sunday at home,
But for now, we just keep moving on.
[Chorus]
We miss them, and they miss us too,
Counting the minutes ‘til the workday’s through.
Every mile, every shift, every sacrifice,
Is for a better tomorrow, a brighter life.
It ain’t forever, it’s only once in awhile,
Till we’re back home, wrapped up in a smile.
[Bridge]
One day the miles won’t pull us apart,
We’ll sit together with peace in our hearts.
And all of this work will be worth the pain,
‘Cause love’s the reason we carry the strain.
[Final Chorus]
We miss them, and they miss us too,
Counting the minutes ‘til the workday’s through.
Every mile, every shift, every sacrifice,
Is for a better tomorrow, a brighter life.
It ain’t forever, it’s only once in awhile,
Till we’re back home, wrapped up in a smile.
[Outro]
Yeah, it’s only once in awhile…
Only once in awhile.
