Steel Toes by the Door

[Intro] (slow electric guitar) Yeah… Another ten-hour Friday Back finally aches But I made it home [Verse 1] Lunchbox riding shotgun in the seat Dust on my jeans and concrete on my feet Clock hit five but the day ran long Boss still yelling while the sun went gone Pulled in slow to that gravel drive Porch light glowing like a welcome sign Kicked off hell on the kitchen floor Steel toes by the door [Pre-Chorus] Whole world heavy on my back all day Then you smile and it all fades away [Chorus] Steel toes by the door Don’t need ‘em anymore Long week, worn out, dead tired soul But tonight I’m finally home Cold drink in my hand You pulling me in close again Everything I’ve been fighting for Starts with steel toes by the door [Verse 2] Old work gloves tossed on the dryer top Phone still ringing but I let it stop Cat winding circles around my legs Like he knows exactly where the hard day ends TV humming low in the living room You dancing barefoot to an old jukebox tune Little moments worth more than gold In this tired old home [Pre-Chorus] Whole world trying to run me down But your voice is the best thing I’ve found [Chorus] Steel toes by the door Don’t need ‘em anymore Long week, worn out, dead tired soul But tonight I’m finally home Cold drink in my hand You pulling me in close again Everything I’ve been fighting for Starts with steel toes by the door [Bridge] Bills still coming, trucks break down Life keeps spinning this tired town But right here with you tonight Everything somehow feels alright [Final Chorus] Steel toes by the door Like a thousand nights before Hard days come and hard days go But you’re the reason I keep rolling on Cold beer, porch light glow Your shadow dancing soft and slow Yeah every road worth fighting for Ends with steel toes by the door [Outro] (fading guitar) Yeah… Steel toes by the door And I’m home
