[Verse 1] They clock in ‘fore the sunrise Dust on their coffee cup Steel toes by the tailgate Truck bed all mudded up Neon vest on that chain-link fence Name tag hangin’ crooked They don’t mind the dirt and grime Long as that paycheck’s lookin’ good [Chorus] Phoenix dewatering sock boys Pullin’ mud out of the ground all day Boot-deep in the brown, still crackin’ them jokes Sayin’, “That’s beer when it’s a mile away” Yeah, they’re haulin’ that hose, hat turned low Turnin’ puddles into dry old rock Phoenix dewatering sock boys Make a livin’ outta makin’ things not so soggy and soft [Verse 2] They talk about last Friday At the bar off exit ten Pitchers on the table Mud still on their shins (oh yeah) One lost a boot in a borrow pit Another lost his phone But they all found that country song That felt just like goin’ home [Chorus] Phoenix dewatering sock boys Pullin’ mud out of the ground all day Boot-deep in the brown, still crackin’ them jokes Sayin’, “That’s beer when it’s a mile away” Yeah, they’re haulin’ that hose, hat turned low Turnin’ puddles into dry old rock Phoenix dewatering sock boys Make a livin’ outta makin’ things not so soggy and soft [Bridge] One day they’ll hang up that hard hat Trade that clay for a little green grass But ‘til then they’ll be out past the cones and signs Turnin’ flooded fields into drivin’ lines [Chorus] Phoenix dewatering sock boys Pullin’ mud out of the ground all day Boot-deep in the brown, still crackin’ them jokes Sayin’, “That’s beer when it’s a mile away” Yeah, they’re haulin’ that hose, hat turned low Turnin’ puddles into dry old rock Phoenix dewatering sock boys Raise ‘em up if you ever had to work that job (hey!)
