(Verse 1)
Alarm clock screams at 4:45
Coffee in my cup, time to come alive
Boots on the floor, steel toe dreams
Heading to the yard where the torchlight gleams
Heavy hood down, maskin’ my face
Arc lights flashin’ like a war-time place
Blue sparks dance with the burnin’ steel
A welder’s truth you can see and feel
(Chorus)
It’s fire, sweat, and iron pride
In the heat where real men don’t hide
Bustin’ knuckles just to earn my pay
In the grind from night till break of day
No suits, no ties — just grit and flame
Every weld I lay, I sign my name
This is blood, this is skill, this is strife
Just a day in the life of a welder’s life
(Verse 2)
Fit-up tight, everything aligned
No room for fear in a welder’s mind
X-rays check what your eyes can’t see
Gotta be clean if it’s up to me
Some days it’s pipe, some days it’s plate
Underwater, uphill — bendin’ fate
It ain’t just work, it’s art and war
Melting metal like never before
(Chorus)
It’s fire, sweat, and iron pride
In the heat where real men don’t hide
Bustin’ knuckles just to earn my pay
In the grind from night till break of day
No suits, no ties — just grit and flame
Every weld I lay, I sign my name
This is blood, this is skill, this is strife
Just a day in the life of a welder’s life
(Bridge)
Sometimes it’s rain, sometimes it’s mud
Sometimes I’m burnin’, bleedin’ blood
But I wouldn’t trade this life I chose
For a desk and a tie and a pretty set of clothes
(Final Chorus)
It’s fire, sweat, and iron pride
In the heat where real men don’t hide
Smoke in my lungs but my head held high
I’ll weld this world ‘til the day I die
No suits, no ties — just grit and flame
Every weld I lay, I sign my name
This is blue-collar steel, this is life
Just a day in the life of a welder’s life
(Outro)
Yeah, just another day…
In a welder’s life.
