[Verse 1]
Alarm at four
Smells like defeat
Hug my pillow
Like it’s hazard sheet
Thermos coffee
Tastes like burnt regret
Climb in the cab
Seat’s still warm and wet
[Pre-Chorus]
Boss says “family”
Means “free overtime”
Radio’s broken
Just my thoughts and grime
[Chorus]
I drive a dump truck
Dump truck
Dump truck
Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck
Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires
Dreams in the back with the busted wires
If you think your job is rough
Try living in a dump truck love
[Verse 2]
Back it up slow
Guy screams “FURTHER BACK”
Wave me closer
Right into the stack
Seagulls circlin’
Like I’m fresh cuisine
I’m one bad day
From joining this machine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hard hat crooked
Boots stuck in the ooze
Company t-shirt
Stained in every hue
[Chorus]
I drive a dump truck
Dump truck
Dump truck
Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck
Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires
Dreams in the back with the busted wires
If you think your job is rough
Try living in a dump truck love
[Bridge]
My friends post beaches
I post brakes on fire (yeah)
They chase horizons
I chase expired diapers
The paycheck lands
Then disappears in gas
All I’ve got left
Is this orange safety vest (so fresh)
[Chorus]
I drive a dump truck
Dump truck
Dump truck
Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck
Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires
Dreams in the back with the busted wires
You hate your job?
That’s fair enough
But you don’t kiss landfills
For a hundred bucks
[Outro]
Key off
Sunset
Smell won’t rinse away
Set the alarm
Do it all next day (oh yay)
