Code Red on the Jobsite

**Title: "Code Red on the Jobsite"**

**[Intro]**
Yeah, this one's for Brady,
Project manager hero... or maybe not.
School addition, hard hat, walkie on his hip,
'Til he found somethin' buried and he nearly lost his grip.

**[Verse 1]**
Brady on the jobsite, sunrise, coffee black,
Building out the classroom wing behind the old gym back.
Blueprints in his hand, schedule tighter than a drum,
Tryin' to beat the weather, keep the project on the run.

Excavator diggin', bucket scraping through the clay,
Operator hollers, "Hey boss, you better come this way."
Brady sees a wire, dusty, faded, lookin' odd,
Heart rate through the ceiling, whisperin', "Dear Lord."

Yellow braided cord with a rusty metal cap,
Every movie he'd ever seen came flashin' back.
Shut the whole site down, sent the crews away,
Said, "Nobody touch nothin', we're done for the day!"

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Called the bomb squad,
Called the police,
Called the local news before he felt at ease.
Helicopters circlin', cameras on the scene,
Brady thinkin', "Man, I just saved the whole team."

**[Chorus]**
Code red, caution tape, everybody stand back,
Breaking news van parked beside the haul road track.
Turns out all the panic, all the sirens and the fuss,
Was an old blasting cord left behind by another crew's dust.

Oh Brady, buddy, take it easy next time,
You went national over fifty-year-old mining line.
From hero to humble in the blink of an eye,
Now the whole school district's askin', "You that bomb guy?"

**[Verse 2]**
Bomb squad rolls in with the robots and the gear,
Brady gives his statement while he's sweatin' ear to ear.
Veteran tech chuckles, kneels down in the dirt,
Says, "Son, this ain't a bomb, but I see why you were alert."

"Back in '72, when they built this old place,
They blasted through the rock before they poured the base.
What you found's leftover cord from the original dig,
No danger at all, just a relic, not a rig."

News crew zoomed in on Brady's red face,
Coworkers bitin' lips tryin' not to laugh in place.
Superintendent smilin', "Hey, safety comes first,"
But Brady knew the memes were about to get worse.

**[Bridge]**
Now his nickname's "Boom,"
Every lunch break, every room.
Got a framed-up picture of the caution tape line,
With a caption sayin', "Better safe than sorry every time."

'Cause embarrassment fades, but mistakes can teach,
And overreactin' beats a headline no one wants to read.

Oh Brady, buddy, take it easy next time,
You went national over fifty-year-old mining line.
From hero to humble in the blink of an eye,
Now the whole school district's askin', "You that bomb guy?"

**[Outro]**
So here's to Brady, ownin' every awkward tale,
Better one false alarm than a safety fail.
Hard hat high, let the laughter roll on,
'Cause every good jobsite's got a story this strong.
