Sparks and Steel

[Verse 1]
Out on the line where the wild grass grows,
The sun’s burning hot, but the weld still glows.
Blue sparks fly, and the steel meets steel,
It’s a job for the strong, it’s a life you feel.
[Prechorus]
And my blue heeler’s sitting, just watching me grind,
With a wag of her tail, like she knows my mind.
[Chorus]
This old Dodge truck and a pipeline dream,
A pocket of dirt, but it’s all I need.
A man and his dog, chasing the sun,
Welding our lives ‘til the work gets done.
[Verse 2]
Coffee from a thermos, grease on my hands,
Living paycheck to paycheck, no big plans.
She’s a good dog, she don’t ask for much,
Just a belly to scratch and a loving touch.
[Prechorus]
The whistle of the wind through the prairie wide,
Is the only song I need when she’s by my side.
[Chorus]
This old Dodge truck and a pipeline dream,
A pocket of dirt, but it’s all I need.
A man and his dog, chasing the sun,
Welding our lives ‘til the work gets done.
