[Verse 1]
The alarm clock's ringing, it’s four a.m.
Coffee’s hot, boots on again
Out to the woods where the frost bites deep,
The deer don’t wait, and I don’t sleep.
[Prechorus]
Shotgun slung, headlamp’s glow,
Tracks in the mud where the cold winds blow.
[Chorus]
Steel and ice, it’s how we’re made,
Hard hands working for an honest day’s pay.
From the factory floor to the frozen rink,
We’re built to fight, we’re built to think.
Steel and ice, it’s a blue-collar life,
Hunting by dawn, hockey by night.
[Verse 2]
That whistle blows, it’s quitting time,
A paycheck earned in the assembly line.
Swap the camo for my skates and pads,
Under the lights, with the boys and the lads.
[Prechorus]
Pucks fly fast, like a bullet’s sting,
Sweat and blood, hear the boards all sing.
[Chorus]
Steel and ice, it’s how we’re made,
Hard hands working for an honest day’s pay.
From the factory floor to the frozen rink,
We’re built to fight, we’re built to think.
Steel and ice, it’s a blue-collar life,
Hunting by dawn, hockey by night.
