[Verse 1]
Pulled up to the gate in my busted van
Guard said
"You lost?" with that rich-man grin
Blueprints flappin'
Coffee on my shirt
They want gold-plated pipes in a pile of dirt
Rain came sideways
Trench caved in
Foreman screamin'
"We’re behind again"
Every valve stuck
Every gasket leaked
They all backed off
But I rolled my sleeves (yeah)
[Chorus]
Million-dollar wrenches in these calloused hands
Turnin' every nightmare into solid plans
When the walls start shakin'
I don't break
I stand
I'm the last one leavin' when it hits the fan
Everything went sideways on that shiny lot
But I wrestled down the chaos till the leaks all stopped
Walked out dusty
Pockets feelin' like a jackpot
Million-dollar wrenches in a beat-up toolbox
[Verse 2]
Lift quit workin' on the fifteenth floor
Had to haul that iron through the fire door
Boss man pacing
Talkin' lawsuits
News
I just muttered
"Pass the pipe dope
Dude"
Torch ran empty
Threads all crossed
Clock hit midnight
Countin' what it cost
Sweat stung hard
But I found my pace
One more flare
Watched the pressure gauge grace my face (whoo)
[Chorus]
Million-dollar wrenches in these calloused hands
Turnin' every nightmare into solid plans
When the walls start shakin'
I don't break
I stand
I'm the last one leavin' when it hits the fan
Everything went sideways on that shiny lot
But I wrestled down the chaos till the leaks all stopped
Walked out dusty
Pockets feelin' like a jackpot
Million-dollar wrenches in a beat-up toolbox
[Bridge]
They thought I'd fold
Thought I'd bail
When the fittings burst like a busted rail
But I kept crankin'
One more turn
Watchin' all that trouble finally burn (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Million-dollar wrenches in these calloused hands
Turnin' every nightmare into solid plans
When the walls start shakin'
I don't break
I stand
I'm the last one leavin' when it hits the fan
Everything went sideways on that shiny lot
But I wrestled down the chaos till the leaks all stopped
Signed that check
Felt my heartbeat stop
Million-dollar wrenches took me straight to the top
