[Intro]
0:00
[Verse]
0:12
Grease on my hands, the engine's my friend,
0:12
Steel guitar cries where the work never ends.
0:18
Hydraulic hum sings through the night,
0:24
These iron bones feel just right.
0:30
[Verse]
0:36
Wrenches and wires, the dance that I know,
0:36
Every bolt turns to a rhythm so slow.
0:43
The daylight fades but the torque stays true,
0:49
This metal heart beats for you.
0:55
[Chorus]
1:01
Oh, it's steel and sweat, the anthem I sing,
1:01
The weight of the world on a piston ring.
1:07
Long hours fade but the fire won't die,
1:14
This grease-stained life is my lullaby.
1:20
[Verse]
1:36
The crane groans low like a tired old man,
1:36
But I'll lift it up with these calloused hands.
1:42
The welder's spark writes my name in the air,
1:48
A love letter forged in repair.
1:54
[Verse]
2:01
Coffee cold in a cracked porcelain cup,
2:01
But the diesel still purrs when I fire her up.
2:05
The boss man says, "Boy, you work too hard,"
2:08
But this garage is my junkyard Louvre.
2:11
[Pre-Chorus]
2:13
The clock ticks slow but the rhythm stays tight,
2:13
Every gear turns in the dead of the night.
2:19
The pay ain't much but the pride won't rust,
2:25
This grease-monkey soul is enough.
2:32
[Chorus]
2:38
Oh, it's steel and sweat, the anthem I sing,
2:38
The weight of the world on a piston ring.
2:44
Long hours fade but the fire won't die,
2:51
This grease-stained life is my lullaby.
2:57
[Chorus]
3:01
Steel and sweat, the anthem I know,
3:01
From the first light dawn to the last wrench throw.
3:07
Wouldn't trade it for diamonds or gold,
3:13
This iron-clad love's my story told.
3:19
[Outro]
3:21
