Sunrise hits, another day
Dust and steel, the same old way
Boots on gravel, heart weighs down
Another highway, another town
Hammer echoes through my bones
Building dreams I’ll never own
Sweat and dirt, a heavy load
Just counting lines down every road
I’m tired of the grind, tired of the pain
Tired of the thunder, tired of the rain
But these calloused hands, they pay my way
Layin' down bricks just to fade away
I’m stuck in the noise, stuck in the dust
Building a world, but losing my trust
Dreamin' of freedom, but chained to the ground
I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down
Lunch break’s just a cigarette
Clock ticks slow, but I can’t forget
The promises I made back home
Paycheck’s thin, but I still roam
Concrete rivers, endless sky
I pour the miles, I don’t know why
Every nail’s another sigh
As I watch my life just pass me by
Maybe one day I’ll walk away
Find a life where I can stay
Where the walls don’t close me in
And I don’t have to start again
I’m tired of the grind, tired of the pain
Tired of the thunder, tired of the rain
But these calloused hands, they pay my way
Layin' down bricks just to fade away
I’m stuck in the noise, stuck in the dust
Building a world, but losing my trust
Dreamin' of freedom, but chained to the ground
I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down
I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down
But I still wake up when the crew comes 'round
