[Intro] Strike that match. Hear that motor. Some things were never meant to run quiet. [Verse 1] Got a wrench in the toolbox and a spark in my chest Got a little more stubborn than the ones who know best Hands black with the hours that the daylight forgot Making something out of nothing with whatever I got There is oil on the concrete, there is heat in the air There is something about a hard job that makes a man care I have heard a hundred reasons why the whole thing won't run But I have never seen a problem scared of getting done I can hear that old engine talking deep in the frame Every rattle tells a story, every knock has a name Give me something worth fixing, give me something worth saving I have never been the type to sit around waiting [Pre Chorus] Turn the key Let it roar I was built for the work Not the talk anymore [Chorus] I got a grease fire heart and a steel toe soul Got a hot wired mind that won't do what it's told When the pressure builds up and the temperature climbs I get better under fire, I get meaner with time Grease fire heart, let the whole thing burn bright Got a fistful of grit and a reason to fight You can hear me coming before I hit the yard I was never built for easy I was built for hard [Verse 2] I have watched a good machine come back from the dead Seen a little bit of patience beat a whole lot of dread Sometimes all that you need is a wrench and a plan And the willingness to get your hands dirty again There are people who can talk you into standing still Selling pretty little dreams with a cheap little thrill But I would rather build something that can take a real load Than buy a shiny promise that will break down on the road I have learned that real strength isn't something you show It is staying with the problem when the easy ones go It is working through the night till the job is complete It is knowing what you built can survive the heat So bring me the broken, bring me the tough I have spent enough time proving I am made of the stuff That keeps turning the wheels when the easy days end I can start from the bottom and build it again [Pre Chorus] Turn the key Let it roar I was built for the work Not the talk anymore [Chorus] I got a grease fire heart and a steel toe soul Got a hot wired mind that won't do what it's told When the pressure builds up and the temperature climbs I get better under fire, I get meaner with time Grease fire heart, let the whole thing burn bright Got a fistful of grit and a reason to fight You can hear me coming before I hit the yard I was never built for easy I was built for hard [Bridge] No showroom shine No polished disguise Just sweat on the concrete And fire in my eyes If it breaks, I repair it If it fails, I rebuild There is nothing more satisfying Than a job done with skill [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] One more turn One more try Hear that engine Come alive [Final Chorus] I got a grease fire heart and a steel toe soul Got a hot wired mind that won't do what it's told When the pressure builds up and the temperature climbs I get better under fire, I get meaner with time Grease fire heart, let the whole thing burn bright Got a fistful of grit and a reason to fight You can hear me coming before I hit the yard I was never built for easy I was built for hard [Outro] Kill the lights. Wipe your hands. Tomorrow we build something bigger.
