Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Sun just crackin’ over county lines Coffee black, boots still caked in time Keys hit the dash, hear that thunder sing Hemi breathin’ like a live damn thing Chrome caught fire in the morning light Dust on the hood, but she runs just right Another town, another job to do Another mile chewin’ up the truth Pre-Chorus Hands on the wheel, knuckles split and scarred Earn my keep from the sweat and the yard Chorus Four on the floor, Dodge Ram rollin’ strong From the rustbelt towns to the desert dawn We don’t stay long, but we leave our mark Hard work done from sun to dark Across America, one job at a time Four-by-four and a Hemi grind Verse 2 Back roads hum like a vinyl groove AM radio, got nothin’ to prove Steel toe boots on a motel floor Another sunrise knockin’ at the door Load it up, tear it down, build it straight Hands get raw but we don’t complain From barn roofs high to refinery heat We earn our bread on calloused feet Pre-Chorus Every handshake sealed in dirt and oil This country’s built on backs that toil Chorus Four on the floor, Dodge Ram rollin’ strong Through the wind and the gravel and the long way home We don’t stay long, but we leave it right Every bolt tight by the end of the night Across America, one job at a time Four-by-four and a Hemi grind Guitar Solo (Long bend, slide guitar cryin’, engine revs underneath) Bridge Seen snow in the north, red clay in the south Salt flats burnin’, rust in our mouth City lights fade in the rearview glass But the work still calls, so we hit the gas Verse 3 Payday folded in a worn out wallet Fuel light low but we still haul it Ain’t no glory in the easy lane Just pride in the muscle and the strain Chorus Four on the floor, Dodge Ram rollin’ strong Built like the men that keep it runnin’ along We don’t stay long, but we stand our ground Every town knows that work got done Across America, one job at a time Four-by-four and a Hemi grind Outro When the road runs out and the engine cools There’s a trail behind us of broken rules Still rollin’ on till the job’s all through Just a man, his truck, and the work we do
