[Verse]
Moon hangs low above the factory line,
Daddy's hands are cracked, but he never whines,
Grinding through the hours, while the world sleeps tight,
All for his girls and his loving wife.
[Verse 2]
Left a note on the fridge before he heads out,
"Love you all, be home soon, no need to doubt,"
Dark clouds chase him, but he don’t share the fight,
Through the midnight hours, he hides his plight.
[Chorus]
He's got the night shift blues, under neon skies,
Working through his pain, not a tear in his eyes,
Supporting his family, doing what he can,
Behind the smile's a weary man.
[Verse 3]
Kids asleep, he kisses their heads goodnight,
Wife murmurs softly, "It'll be alright,"
Morning sun breaks, another day he’ll face,
Carrying the weight, keeping a steady pace.
[Bridge]
He dreams of better days, when he can rest,
But now it’s his duty, giving his best,
Silent battles fought, when the stars align,
For those he loves, he’s on borrowed time.
[Verse 4]
Down the gravel road to their little house,
He pulls up slow, tries to not arouse,
Whispers "I love you" to the dawn’s first light,
Starts another day, fighting through the night.
