[Verse 1] Sawdust in the morning light, Hammer hits and it feels right. New frame up, straight and strong, I’ve been building all along. Folk come by with plans in hand, Trying to make this valley stand. It’s not fancy, never was, Just honest work and calloused trust. [Chorus] Board by board, day by day, That’s the way I’m wired to stay. Not chasing gold, not chasing fast, I like a life that’s built to last. Walls go up, hearts come through, Making something solid, something true. Yeah, I’m doing alright, With my hands and a little light. [Verse 2] Some days smooth, some days bent, Nothing ever goes exact. But you measure, cut again, Put the pieces back on track. Kids grow up, seasons run, Work still waits when day is done. And I wouldn’t trade this place, For some distant, empty race. [Chorus] Board by board, day by day, That’s the way I’m wired to stay. Not chasing gold, not chasing fast, I like a life that’s built to last. Walls go up, hearts come through, Making something solid, something true. Yeah, I’m doing alright, With my hands and a little light. [Bridge] Give me wood, give me time, I’ll make order out of lines. Life gets loud, life gets strange, Still the work stays the same. Nail it down, make it home, That’s a strength I’ve always known. [Final Chorus / Outro] Board by board, day by day, That’s the way I choose to stay. Not chasing gold, not chasing fast, I like a life that’s built to last. Morning comes, I’m here again, Building more than boards and beams. Yeah, I’m doing alright, Living steady in between.
