[Verse 1]
Hammer sparks flyin’ in the Gulf Coast night
Arc burnin’ hotter than a four-alarm fire
I was buried in the grind, just me and the flame
Then she walked in like a slow southern rain
Boots in the mud, eyes lit like acetylene
Said she’s just passin’ through New Iberia, Louisiana dream
Told her I build tanks and towers outta iron and pride
She smiled, said, “That fire’s burnin’ deep inside”
[Chorus]
I’ve been welding steel since I was seventeen
But nothin’ ever hit me like her eyes so green
Now I’m fusin’ more than metal, I’m feelin’ somethin’ real
Two hearts under pressure, forged in fire and steel
This love’s no blueprint, it’s raw and it’s true
Welded hearts, babe, I’m stuck on you
[Verse 2]
Lunch breaks turned to long talks by the bay
She asked if I ever dreamed past the grind and pay
Told her I never thought I’d slow down or feel
But she bent my heart like a red-hot piece of steel
She ain’t scared of dirt, loves the sound of the torch
Says my calloused hands tell a story, of course
I’ve built half the South, but now I see
The strongest thing I ever built is you and me
[Chorus]
I’ve been welding steel since I was seventeen
But nothin’ ever hit me like her eyes so green
Now I’m fusin’ more than metal, I’m feelin’ somethin’ real
Two hearts under pressure, forged in fire and steel
This love’s no blueprint, it’s raw and it’s true
Welded hearts, babe, I’m stuck on you
[Bridge]
Maybe she’ll stay, maybe she’ll roam
But if she calls, I’ll drop that hood and go
‘Cause once you’ve struck a spark like that
There ain’t no goin’ back
[Final Chorus]
I’ve been welding steel since I was seventeen
But nothin’ ever hit me like her eyes so green
Now I’m fusin’ more than metal, I’m feelin’ somethin’ real
Two hearts under pressure, forged in fire and steel
A bond unbreakable, fire-tested and true
Welded hearts, babe, I’m stuck on you
[Outro]
Yeah, this ain’t just flame and grit, it’s love we feel
Welded hearts and burnin’ steel…
