Verso 1)Started out in Cotulla, under the Texas sunLearning the trade from Tom Moore, where the hard work was doneLaying down the iron, learning how to make it fitWith Eric Estes on the blueprints, making sure we never quit.Yeah, the days were long, and the leather gloves were wornBut that's the place where a pipe fitter was born.(Coro)Here's to the hard hat, the hammer, and the heavy lineTo the mentors and the bosses who gave us their timeNow I'm sitting on the throne, looking at the viewBut I'll never forget the ones who pulled me through.Yeah, this one’s for the crew.(Verso 2)And down in Mississippi, where the good times rollI got brothers like Justin and Deven, true to the soulJ.D. Littlefield and Bobo, keeping the laughter loudMan, looking back at where we stood, it makes me damn proud.We raised a little hell, and we worked until the dawnA bond like that stays strong, even when you're gone.(Coro)Here's to the hard hat, the hammer, and the heavy lineTo the mentors and the bosses who gave us their timeNow I'm sitting on the throne, looking at the viewBut I'll never forget the ones who pulled me through.Yeah, this one’s for the crew.(Puente)From the bottom of my heart, I send this thank you noteTo the best damn team that ever shared a coatYou taught me how to build, you taught me how to standNow the student’s doing well all across the land.(Coro)Here's to the hard hat, the hammer, and the heavy lineTo Tom, Eric, and the boys from the Mississippi lineNow I'm sitting on the throne, looking at the viewBut I'll never forget the ones who pulled me through.Yeah, this one’s for you.
