Verse 1
Alarm clock rings before the sun can rise,
Steel-toe boots and tired blue eyes.
Coffee in a thermos, keys in his hand,
Building tomorrow with a working man’s plan.
Three branches riding on his shoulders every day,
Seven locations counting on the choices that he makes.
Wholesale batteries, parts stacked to the sky,
Every invoice matters when the numbers have to climb.
Pre-Chorus
It ain’t about glory, it ain’t about fame,
It’s carrying the weight when nobody knows your name.
Chorus
I’m chasing profit, not for greed—
I’m chasing everything my family needs.
Four kids dreaming, my wife by my side,
Two old dogs waiting when I finally drive.
The cost of living keeps climbing high,
Bills don’t care if you’re tired at night.
So I work these hours, I answer the call,
If I don’t stand up, who catches the fall?
Building my company one day at a time,
Providing for my family—that’s the bottom line.
Verse 2
Four straight years that branch stayed black,
Every setback put another dollar back.
Held the line when the pressure came,
Kept the doors open through the fire and rain.
Regional manager with three stores to lead,
Teaching every team what success will need.
Not every day’s a win, not every deal is clean,
But hard work always shows up somewhere in between.
Bridge
My kids don’t measure me by what’s parked outside,
They remember if I showed up, if I stood with pride.
My wife knows every sacrifice I’ve made,
Every late-night phone call and every overtime day.
One day these hands will finally slow,
But they’ll know exactly what this family owes—
To sweat, to faith, to honest work,
To never quitting when the job still hurts.
Final Chorus
I’m chasing profit because futures aren’t free,
Every paycheck writes another family memory.
Four kids laughing, my wife still smiles,
Two faithful dogs waiting all the while.
Seven locations, three under my name,
Every hard decision is part of the game.
I don’t build empires for the praise they’ll bring—
I build strong people, and that’s everything.
When they ask what kind of man I tried to be,
Tell them I gave my family… and my company… every ounce of me.
Outro
The spreadsheets fade.
The warehouses close.
The numbers change.
But love still grows.
Because the richest man isn’t the one with the biggest check…
He’s the dad who made sure everyone else had enough.
