Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Steel toes on before sunrise
Thermos coffee, dead red eyes
Mix truck hummin’ like a war cry
Whole block quiet but the ground alive
Pulled up solo, just me and the mud
Shovel in the rock, turn dust to a flood
Rebar bones run under my feet
I’m buildin’ what they stand on, they don’t even see
[Chorus]
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (yeah)
Keep on keepin’ on, I don’t ever skip a beat
Pull up the wire, throw the magic powder deep
Stampin’ concrete signatures all over the street
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (uh)
Hands all cut, but the vision run deep
Trowel in my fist, that’s the code that I speak
Stampin’ concrete signatures on our world every week
[Verse 2]
Cloud of dust when the form ties snap
Tape on my fingers, map on my lap
Check grade, check line, check slope
One bad move and the whole dream broke
Rain in the forecast, still I pour
Cold wind hittin’, I just lean in more
They talk tough, but they soft in the storms
I talk little, let the sidewalks form
[Chorus]
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (yeah)
Keep on keepin’ on, I don’t ever skip a beat
Pull up the wire, throw the magic powder deep
Stampin’ concrete signatures all over the street
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (uh)
From the driveway pads to the jailhouse feet
You can wash your hands, but it stains what you keep
Stampin’ concrete signatures on our world every week
[Bridge]
Whole crew gone, I stay, smooth seams
Knee pads burnin’, still chasin’ clean dreams (woo)
World try crack me, I just set more forms
If it don’t set right, I’ll be back by dawn
[Chorus]
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (yeah)
Keep on keepin’ on, I don’t ever skip a beat
Pull up the wire, throw the magic powder deep
Stampin’ concrete signatures all over the street
Life is hard, that is why we do concrete (yeah, yeah)
Name in the corner where the wet lines meet
When I’m long gone, they’ll still walk on my beat
Stampin’ concrete signatures on our world, concrete
