Prompt / Lyrics
[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 Midnight toolbox team
