[Verse] He fired up the dream in '73 Potts Excavating Just a man and a machine Pop’s hands They built this town Dirt and steel Roots in the ground [Prechorus] And he never slowed Not a day off track A loader’s roar The wind at his back [Chorus] Pop’s still out there Running the loader Eighty-five years But his heart’s even bolder He’s the legend The man The cornerstone Built this life And he calls it home [Verse 2] Jameson’s the boss now Keeps the wheels aligned And me Joey Whispers I haul and grind Best friends for decades Forty-five strong But Pop’s the melody in every song [Prechorus] He treats me like blood No paper No name To Pop We’re family—it’s all the same [Chorus] Pop’s still out there Running the loader Eighty-five years But his heart’s even bolder He’s the legend The man The cornerstone Built this life And he calls it home
