[Verse 1]
Griffin on the clock in steel-toe boots
Snow on the ground
But the shop runs hot
Sparks in the dark
Yeah the welds run straight
North Colorado in the bones
In the blood he’s got
[Chorus]
“In this life” on your neck like a battle flag
Every scar every burn every broken plan
You just grind
Weld the days into something that lasts
“In this life” you’re the fire that’s holding it fast
[Verse 2]
Timecard ink and the smell of rain
Pickup parked by the old feed store
Friday night roads
That long front range
Still the same sky you were fighting for
[Chorus]
“In this life” on your neck like a battle flag
Every scar every burn every broken plan
You just grind
Weld the days into something that lasts
“In this life” you’re the fire that’s holding it fast
[Bridge]
Who said small-town boys don’t rise? (hey!)
You’ve been staring down doubt all your life
When the metal meets the mask and the sparks fly high
You remember that line
That line on your spine
[Chorus]
“In this life” on your neck like a battle flag
Every scar every burn every broken plan
You just grind
Weld the days into something that lasts
“In this life” yeah you’re built from the cord and the crash
“In this life” you’re the fire that’s holding it fast
