Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Sun barely up, coffee black, boots tight Steel toes crunch on that gravel just right Key turns over, hear that diesel pray Another long shift but we’re built that way Dust in the air like a payday haze Radio crackle say “load ‘em, boys, let’s roll today” Pre-Chorus Hands on the wheel, yeah the ground gonna shake Clock don’t matter when the money gets made Chorus Yeah buddy, from pit to payday 773 singin’ like it knows my name Redline grindin’, no days off play Load by load, yeah we earn that wage Yeah buddy, dirt don’t faze me Forty, fifty tons, yeah it still ain’t crazy From first hard pull to the whistle’s call Yeah buddy—we haul it all Verse 2 Mud on the fenders, sweat on my back Boss man watchin’ numbers on a clipboard stack Sun beat down but the engine stay cool Iron faith, yeah that’s the rule Another scoop, let it fall just right Bank account grow with the end of the night Pre-Chorus They don’t see the weight, they don’t feel the strain But they hear that motor when it screams my name Chorus Yeah buddy, from pit to payday 773 tuned up, no delay Throttle wide open, bills get paid Every damn mile that I excavate Yeah buddy, built this way Calloused hands but we still okay From sunrise grind to the shutdown call Yeah buddy—yeah, we haul it all Bridge Chrome ain’t clean but the numbers right Long days turn into better nights Ain’t no suit, no office chair Just iron lungs and dusty air Breakdown Yeah buddy—send it Yeah buddy—let it eat Yeah buddy—earned not given Yeah buddy—paid by the week Final Chorus Yeah buddy, from pit to payday 773 roarin’ through the long workday No shortcuts taken, no corners shaved Every load proof of the life we made Yeah buddy, remember the name When that backup alarm hits and the ground vibrates From the first damn dig to the final haul Yeah buddy—yeah buddy—we haul it all Outro Key off quiet, sun gone low Another hard-earned check, yeah the numbers show From pit to payday—same damn way Yeah buddy… see you tomorrow, same place
