[Verse 1]
Coffee in the commons
Laughing at the same old joke
Name tags on our jackets
Dreams scribbled in our phones
Late-night in the hallway
Sneakers squeaking on that floor
Sharing secrets like a promise
Swearing we were meant for more
[Chorus]
I miss my Job Corps family
All the faces in that faded photograph
We were broke
But we were happy
Trading worries for a shared late-night snack
Now the rooms are just a memory
But my heart still keeps a bunk for you and me
Yeah
I miss my Job Corps family
More than I can ever really say
[Verse 2]
Roll call in the morning
Eyes half-open
Same old fight
You saved me a seat at breakfast
Ketchup packets
Eggs too dry
We talked about our futures
Like they waited at the gate
Caps and gowns inside our closets
Counting days and counting faith
[Chorus]
I miss my Job Corps family
All the faces in that faded photograph
We were broke
But we were happy
Trading worries for a shared late-night snack
Now the rooms are just a memory
But my heart still keeps a bunk for you and me
Yeah
I miss my Job Corps family
More than I can ever really say
[Bridge]
If you’re out there scrolling
And you stumble on my name (hey)
Know I still replay those moments
Like a song that never fades
We were more than just a program
We were holding up the sky
Every hug inside that courtyard
Still lives in the back of my mind
[Chorus]
I miss my Job Corps family
All the faces in that faded photograph
We were broke
But we were happy
Trading worries for a shared late-night snack
Now the rooms are just a memory
But my heart still keeps a bunk for you and me
Yeah
I miss my Job Corps family
You’re the home I carry every day
