Pipe Dreams

Yeah

Blue shirt, name tag

Tool bag swingin' like (hey!)

Check it

Up at six, steel toes on the mat

Coffee in a thermos, GPS on the dash

Copper in the back, box full of brass

Sticker on the van sayin' "we'll fix it fast"

Doorbell ring, old pipes soundin' rough

Rust in the water, pressure givin' up

I crawl under sinks where the spiders live

Wrench in my hand, got a line to fix

Drips in the dark, I can hear that tap

Follow every sound like a treasure map

Sweat on my neck, shirt gettin' damp

Still leave that place lookin' crisp, no clamps

We the ones when the water won't run

Call the crew, yeah, we get it all done (all done)

Pipe dreams, but we work in the mud

Turn that flood to a slow, smooth hum

Hit my phone when your ceiling goin' boom

I'm the hero in the boots and the glue (uh)

Pipe dreams, ain't a leak I can't tame

I'm a plumber, put respect on the name (yeah)

Patch up the past in a crawlspace crawl

Headlamp glow bouncin' off that wall

Neighbor on the porch tryna ask it all

"How long it take?" — 'til the last drip fall

Thread tape tight when the fittings meet

Old house bones feel the new-line beat

From the ground-floor sink to the top-floor suite

I connect those veins so the flow stay sweet

Got calls at midnight, burst in the cold

Water on the floor, kids on their toes

I show up greasy, still in my coat

Walk out clean when the check get wrote (yeah)

We the ones when the water won't run

Call the crew, yeah, we get it all done (we do)

Pipe dreams, but we work in the mud

Turn that flood to a slow, smooth hum

Hit my phone when your ceiling goin' boom

I'm the hero in the boots and the glue (hey!)

Pipe dreams, ain't a leak I can't tame

I'm a plumber, put respect on the name

From the trench to the tile to the tap, that's us

From the drip to the gush to the rush, that's trust (trust)

If it clank, if it clog, if it bust, we pull up

When the whole block stuck, we the ones diggin' up (yeah)

We the ones when the water won't run

Call the crew, yeah, we get it all done

Pipe dreams, but we work in the mud

Turn that flood to a slow, smooth hum (smooth)

Hit my phone when your ceiling goin' boom

I'm the hero in the boots and the glue

Pipe dreams, ain't a leak I can't tame

I'm a plumber, put respect on the name (pipe dreams)
