[Intro] Morning... Sun comin' up, boots on the ground Coffee in my hand, got lumber all around Haha Let's build somethin' [Chorus] I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Checkin' every nail and every load Got my plans rolled up, radio low Walkin' down that hard hat road I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Concrete set and the framing's bold One more house where the dreams unfold Walkin' down that hard hat road [Verse 1] Six in the mornin', dew on the grass Crew pullin' in and they movin' fast Truck full of tools and a pocket full of goals Tryna turn dirt lots into family homes Electrician callin', plumber's runnin' late Inspector showin' up right at the gate Everybody got a problem they wanna unload Good thing I was built for this contractor road [Pre-Chorus] Blueprints folded underneath my arm Keep the whole thing movin', keep the workers calm Every little setback just another stone Stack it high enough and you can build a home [Chorus] I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Checkin' every nail and every load Got my plans rolled up, radio low Walkin' down that hard hat road I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Concrete set and the framing's bold One more house where the dreams unfold Walkin' down that hard hat road [Verse 2] Foundation poured and the walls stand tall Yesterday was dirt, now it's lookin' like y'all Got kitchens, bedrooms, porches and beams Turnin' graph paper into somebody's dreams Sawdust flyin' when the crews cut wood Everybody hustlin' like they know they should Rain clouds comin' but we stay on track 'Cause tomorrow's another house and I'll be right back [Pre-Chorus] Coffee gettin' cold but the day's heatin' up Everybody grindin', never givin' up From the first survey to the final coat That's the kind of life that keeps this builder floatin' [Chorus] I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Checkin' every nail and every load Got my plans rolled up, radio low Walkin' down that hard hat road I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Concrete set and the framing's bold One more house where the dreams unfold Walkin' down that hard hat road [Bridge] Yeah, I got mud on my boots Dust on my jeans Building neighborhoods one lot at a time, you know what I mean Got families waitin' Got keys to hand out That's what this contractor life is all about [Final Chorus] I'm walkin' down that hard hat road Sunrise glowin' on the freshly poured stone Every board and brick says hard work showed Walkin' down that hard hat road Yeah, I'm walkin' down that hard hat road From an empty field to a place called home When the day's all done, everybody knows I was walkin' down that hard hat road [Outro] Yeah... Coffee cup empty, but the houses stand tall See y'all tomorrow morning.
