[Intro]
Benny Vermillion
boots on the ground, no chillin'
clipboard swing, pipe drillin'
good word worth more than a million
[Verse 1]
Hard hat low
sun on the yard, that glow
Copper and mud on his coat
but he smile when the pressure float
Humble to the core, no flex
hands in the trench, no text
Fair and true when the rain come heavy
share the load, hold it steady
Gift of gab, whole crew just grin
turn a bad day sweet on a whim
Talk that talk, turn stress to smoke
every rough edge soften when he spoke
[Chorus]
Benny Vermillion, stand-up fella
always fair with every dwella (yeah)
Takes care of his men on the line, that's him
heart big brim to brim
Benny Vermillion, all day through
positive attitude, fair and true
Raise that wrench, let the whole job sing
"That’s my boss, that’s my king" (hey)
[Verse 2]
Break time bench, he last in line
"Y’all eat first," same old sign
Payday talk, no secrets hid
each man know what each man did
On the phone with a hot-head suit
"Calm down, friend, we gon’ execute"
Turn a shout into handshake quick
old-school charm with a new-school wit
When the pipe burst wild on a Friday noon
he crack one joke, change the room
"Grab that valve, we gon’ spin this win"
mud on his jeans, pure gold in his grin
[Outro]
Benny Vermillion, name on steel
etched in sweat and honest deals
Crew ride out when the day is through
still brag soft, “he fair and true”
