[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] [Verse 1] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, bass and drums enter] Another week away again, another dock, another town Hear your little squeals through my phone and it tears me down (down, down, down) Steel toes, still cold, coffee sloshing in the cup Daybreak, waves crash, hook a dragon through the rough Missed calls, missed naps, stacking hours on the overtime shift Blocks, bumps, knocks, 3 AM and I'm still wired Your mama says you finally started saying dada clear Damn, wish I could have heard it in person instead of here [Pre-Chorus] [distorted guitar power chords] Clock it, lock it, same grind every week Steel walls, cold halls, hearing diesel in my sleep Blue light from my cracked phone flickering across the room Staring at your pictures while the engine shakes the school Girl, those eyes just melt me Maybe that's how I know [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] I say everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye [Instrumental Break] [distorted guitar riff with pinch harmonics] [Verse 2] [clean guitar returns, palm-muted bass] Another storm blowing in, another shift, another watch Rain gear, salt air, orange turns in the kettle pot Hard hats, night shifts, faded blacks and aching backs So damn boat-hungry while the waves slam off the stacks FaceTime, three frames, weak bars in the audio Tiny hands tapping the screen like where my daddy go? Some nights I feel strong, some nights I feel lost Some nights I count every single thing this job, this costs [Pre-Chorus] [distorted guitars swell] Bedside, boots tossed, by the lower bunk Try to sleep while the ocean keeps rocking this rust bucket Then I hear that little squeal and all that hard-ass grown man armor just falls apart Girl, those eyes just melt me Maybe that's how I know [Chorus] [heavy drums, layered vocal harmonies] I say everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye [Guitar Solo] [wah-pedal lead guitar, fast tremolo picking] [Bridge] [half-time feel, heavy bass] Rock slow while the engine's drum below Trying to sleep but all I hear is your little dada through the phone Everybody says a man's supposed to sacrifice But nobody explains how hard it is to miss your child's life Still, when you look at me Like I'm somebody with trust Maybe everything really is gonna be alright [Chorus] [maximum intensity] I say everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye I say everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be alright Rock-a-bye, rock-a-rock-a-bye [Outro] [drums and bass drop out, fading guitar feedback] Rock-a-bye
