Alarm goes off before sunrise
Tiptoe past where my whole world lies
Bed-head boy with a sleepy smile
One quick hug, I love that child
"Don't cry, buddy, I'll be home soon"
I punch the clock, my day's begun
Steel and sweat till the daylight's done
They say be careful, but they rush the time Every risk I take, I push the line
I work this job, I won't ask why I do it all for my son…. that's my why
Sparks fly fast, things went wrong
Hit the ground hard, didn't take that long
Heart beats heavy, thought 'bout home
How close I came to being gone
I punch the clock, my day's begun
Steel and sweat till the daylight's done
They say be careful, but they rush the time Every risk I take, I push the line
I work this job, I won't ask why I do it all for my son…. that's my why
This job won't miss me if I'm gone
But them little arms will miss me if I don’t come home
I punch the clock, but I punch out too
No paycheck's worth what I could lose
I'll do it right 'til the day I die
I work for my son - that's my why
