O.S.H.A. Ain’t A Small Town

[Verse 1]
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town
On some dusty border road
Ain’t a diner by the freeway
Where the cowboys all go
It’s the reason that I clock in
And still got ten good toes
Hard hat on this thick skull
High‑vis on these old clothes
[Chorus]
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s why we’re punchin’ out
Still in one piece
In order
That’s safety glasses
Not cheap shades on my face
Steel toes
Lift right
Give that danger some space
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s the rulebook keepin’ chaos out of order
[Verse 2]
We used to joke on Mondays
“Throw the goggles in the truck”
Till a buddy caught a metal chip
And ran outta luck
Now it’s earplugs
Tags and lockouts
Vest glow in the night
‘Cause livin’ to see Friday
Is worth doin’ it right
[Chorus]
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s why we’re punchin’ out
Still in one piece
In order
That’s safety glasses
Not cheap shades on my face
PPE on
Keep that boss man off my case
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s the quiet kind of law and order
[Bridge]
You can call it red tape
I call it one more day
To hit that bar at sundown
Hear the band and get paid (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s why we’re punchin’ out
Still in one piece
In order
That’s safety glasses
Not sunglasses on my face
Gloves on
Brain on
Keep it all in place
O.S.H.A. ain’t a small town on the Arizona border
It’s the line between a grave and gettin’ older

rock, Crunchy country rock band, mid-tempo stomp with twangy electric guitars and bright acoustic strums. Male vocals with a wry storytelling drawl; big gang vocal hooks on the chorus. Snare cracks, steady bass walk, and a slide guitar answering lines. Bridge pulls back to half-time and low grit, then slams back in full-band for the final hook., country rock
