[Intro]
Dust on my boots, dirt on me seams, I work all day trying to chase my dreams
[Verse 1]
Mud on my hands, sweat in my eyes, digging deep under open skies
Hard hat on, siren song, this dirt jungle's where I belong
Every shovel full, a story told, trying to escape what I've been sold
Blue collar pride, working hard, aiming high for a brand new start
[Pre-Chorus]
Someday I’ll lay this burden down, build a home on familiar ground
Lay my roots, find my peace, pray my worries will cease
Dream of a porch where I can rest, woman by my side, feeling blessed
All I want is simple and true, a life I can walk into
[Chorus]
Diggin’ out of my pain, soil runs through my veins
Hoping one day I’ll find my way, to a better day
Workin’ my life away, dreamin’ of a better place
Where I can lay my troubles down, in my small town
Work, sweat, and pray, I’ll make it someday
That noble dream of mine, a simple life aligned
[Bridge]
Blue collar nights, under the stars, dreams of a house, near the river's bars
A woman to hold, a hand to lean, living out my country dream
Hope’s a shovel, tough as steel, digging for a love that’s real
Waiting for the day I see, the life that waits for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Someday I’ll lay this burden down, build a home on familiar ground
Lay my roots, find my peace, pray my worries will cease
Dream of a porch where I can rest, woman by my side, feeling blessed
All I want is simple and true, a life I can walk into
[Chorus]
Diggin’ out of my pain, soil runs through my veins
Hoping one day I’ll find my way, to a better day
Workin’ my life away, dreamin’ of a better place
Where I can lay my troubles down, in my small town
Work, sweat, and pray, I’ll make it someday
That noble dream of mine, a simple life aligned
[Outro]
So I keep on digging, keep on striving, praying that my time is arriving
One day all this pain will fade, in the sunlight of a brighter day
