[Verse 1]
Monday came with dust on the truck
Coffee in a thermos and a little good luck
Clocked in early while the frost held tight
Put in ten hours, came home by the porch light
[Pre-Chorus]
You met me smiling with the skillet on
Kids had their homework spread across the lawn
[Chorus]
Long weekdays, strong hands, dinner on the table
Bills get paid and we do what we are able
Saturday is waiting, but tonight feels right
With my family close, I’ve got a great life
Yeah, the road gets rough, but the love runs deep
I count what I’ve got before I fall asleep
[Verse 2]
Tuesday brought a tire that wouldn’t hold air
Wednesday found me fixing fence wire by the mare
Thursday rain turned the back road into clay
Friday felt like freedom before the end of day
[Pre-Chorus]
You poured sweet tea in a mason jar
Said, “We don’t need much to know where we are”
[Chorus]
Long weekdays, strong hands, dinner on the table
Bills get paid and we do what we are able
Saturday is waiting, but tonight feels right
With my family close, I’ve got a great life
Yeah, the road gets rough, but the love runs deep
I count what I’ve got before I fall asleep
[Bridge]
There’s a hand-me-down bike by the garden gate
A worn-out ball and a brand-new date
For fishing at the creek when the morning comes
Small-town miles and a house full of love
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Long weekdays, strong hands, dinner on the table
Bills get paid and we do what we are able
Saturday is waiting, and the porch light’s bright
With my family close, I’ve got a great life
Let the years roll on, let the seasons turn
There’s a lot to give and a lot to learn
Long weekdays, strong hands, every hard-earned mile
Feels like a blessing when you see them smile
[Outro]
The kettle’s singing, the screen door swings
Thank God for the ordinary things
