Working man rock

Sunrise hits, another day

Dust and steel, the same old way

Boots on gravel, heart weighs down

Another highway, another town

Hammer echoes through my bones

Building dreams I’ll never own

Sweat and dirt, a heavy load

Just counting lines down every road

I’m tired of the grind, tired of the pain

Tired of the thunder, tired of the rain

But these calloused hands, they pay my way

Layin' down bricks just to fade away

I’m stuck in the noise, stuck in the dust

Building a world, but losing my trust

Dreamin' of freedom, but chained to the ground

I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down

Lunch break’s just a cigarette

Clock ticks slow, but I can’t forget

The promises I made back home

Paycheck’s thin, but I still roam

Concrete rivers, endless sky

I pour the miles, I don’t know why

Every nail’s another sigh

As I watch my life just pass me by

Maybe one day I’ll walk away

Find a life where I can stay

Where the walls don’t close me in

And I don’t have to start again

I’m tired of the grind, tired of the pain

Tired of the thunder, tired of the rain

But these calloused hands, they pay my way

Layin' down bricks just to fade away

I’m stuck in the noise, stuck in the dust

Building a world, but losing my trust

Dreamin' of freedom, but chained to the ground

I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down

I’m tired of construction, can’t put the hammer down

But I still wake up when the crew comes 'round
