Midnight Toolbox Team

[Verse 1]
They creak when they stand
Check the knees
Crack a grin
Reading glasses on chains
But the fire’s still burning within
Old scars
Old jokes
Same bar
Same booth
They get the quiet call
“Someone ran off with the tools”
[Pre-Chorus]
They trade suits for hoodies
Wedding rings for gloves
Stretch out in the parking lot
Like they’re back with the young guns (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
They’re the midnight toolbox team
Fifty going on seventeen
Sneaking through the shadows
For a socket and a dream
Every wire
Every wrench
Locked up tight behind a fence
If you steal from the working hands
You’re gonna answer to them
Midnight toolbox team
Midnight toolbox team
[Verse 2]
They roll in at dusk
Minivans
Faded paint
Dad rock on the stereo
Granola crumbs on the floor mats
Faint
Blueprints on a clipboard
Thermos full of black
“Who packed the sandwiches?”
“Who remembered my back brace?” (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
They’ve got crow’s feet
Crowbars
Heart meds
Brave hearts
One nod
Two deep breaths
Then the whole plan starts
[Chorus]
They’re the midnight toolbox team
Fifty going on seventeen
Sneaking through the shadows
For a socket and a dream
Every drill
Every case
Tracked like it’s a high-speed chase
If you steal from the working hands
You’re gonna answer to them
Midnight toolbox team
Midnight toolbox team
[Bridge]
They move like a memory
Of a game they used to play
Older
Slower
Laughing
Still they never lose their way
In a warehouse full of trouble
They’re calm
They’re cool
They’re keen
Gray hair
Steel nerves
Best thieves you’ve ever seen (oh!)
[Chorus]
They’re the midnight toolbox team
Fifty going on seventeen
Sneaking through the shadows
For a socket and a dream
Every wire
Every wrench
Coming home across that fence
You can’t outsmart the working hands
Not when they’re back again
Midnight toolbox team
