[Intro]
Dusty boots, hard hat glow,
Sun beats down, steady and slow.
Singin' the work song, rain or shine,
Gotta keep pushin', line by line.
[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, gotta do boom work again,
Swingin’ pipe through the mud and the wind.
Thought we’d be laying line, but that’s not how it’s been,
Oh Lord, gotta do boom work again.
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweat drips down, dirt and grit,
One more day, gotta stay legit.
Hold my head high, tips to the sky,
Someday I’ll look back, and I’ll testify.
[Chorus]
Boom work, keep the world spinning around,
Diggin’ deep where the lines are found.
Hard day’s work, but I stand my ground,
Oh Lord, gotta do boom work again.
[Verse 2]
Got the hoe in the ditch and the pipe on the bend,
Foreman says, “Pick it up and move it one more inch again.”
Been fightin’ this same old hole since I don’t know when,
Oh Lord, gotta do boom work again.
[Pre-Chorus]
Calloused hands and the early dawn,
Every mile we’ve crawled, every stone we’ve drawn.
Keep on voice, keep on fight,
Tomorrow’s dream in the fading light.
[Chorus]
Boom work, keep the world spinning around,
Diggin’ deep where the lines are found.
Hard day’s work, but I stand my ground,
Oh Lord, gotta do boom work again.
[Bridge]
Makin’ a way from the ground to the sky,
Though the road is long and sometimes dry.
With every pipe laid, we forge a path,
Holdin’ steady, doing the work that lasts.
[Outro]
Sunset comes, but we ain’t done,
Rest ‘til tomorrow’s work is won.
In the dirt, in the rain,
Gotta do boom work again.
