Lyrics
[Intro]
Boot prints
Dust on my jeans
We mix that gray
Into our dreams
[Verse 1]
We the men of concrete
Hard hats, cracked hands, no sleep
Sun up, sun down, same street
Pouring out floors where the kids gon’ eat
Steel toes by the front door waiting
My shorty ask, "Dad, you staying?"
Kiss her head, then I'm back on site
Trade them nights for another blue light
[Chorus]
Men of concrete, laying our names in the earth
Leave that mark in the mud, in the turf (yeah)
Spending more time on the job than at home
But we build every road that you roam
Men of concrete, every slab, every line
If I vanish today, I’ll be fine
‘Cause the ground still talking ‘bout me when I’m gone
Concrete signatures, set in stone (set in stone)
[Verse 2]
Same crew, same boots, same weather
Different scars, but we share that pressure
He lost time with his boy last summer
I missed calls from my own sick mother
We pour pain in the frame, let it cure
Talk life over lunch on the curb
Tie rebar like we stitch our stories
Stack small checks, still chasing glory
[Bridge]
[Strings pull back, deep bass humming low]
If these walls could speak
They’d say our names slow
Every crack, every street
Proof we didn’t let go
We ain’t rich, but we built half your town
We break backs, just to hold you down
[Chorus]
Men of concrete, laying our names in the earth
Leave that mark in the mud, in the turf
Spending more time on the job than at home
But we build every road that you roam
Men of concrete, every slab, every line
If I vanish today, I’ll be fine
‘Cause the ground still talking ‘bout me when I’m gone
Concrete signatures, set in stone (yeah, set in stone)
