[Verse]
Dust and sweat on my brow every day
Grinding away like there's no other way
Family's waiting I'm miles from home
Empty pockets chasing this broke man's dream
[Verse]
Back's breaking shoulders bearing the weight
Bills piling high a fate I never wanted to trade
Kids lookin' up see the fire in my eyes
I'm just a man fighting time scraping by
[Chorus]
Blue collar blood runs deep in my veins
Every paycheck just another drop of pain
Long nights alone but I'm doing what I can
Workin' hands trying to hold this family tight
[Verse]
Truck's rusted out worn like my soul
Miles of asphalt and a dream full of holes
Dinner table stories of a life on the grind
Kids askin' why I don't have the time
[Verse]
Boss man barkin' orders like a king
Factory floor echoes with the sound of machines
Missed birthdays countless goodbyes
All for a future dangling just out of sight
[Bridge]
Ain't no quit in these weary bones
Heart's made of steel even when I'm alone
Love's the fuel that keeps me alive
In this never-ending struggle just trying to survive
