[Verse 1] Sunrise cracks, another day begins, Road grader rumbles, fightin' all my sins. Dusty trails and gravel in my teeth, Another mile to pave, beneath, beneath. [Chorus] Steel wheels grindin', engine's screamin' loud, This ain't no easy life, amongst the weary crowd. A shot of courage, a puff to ease the pain, Buildin' roads back home, again and again. [Verse 2] Boss man hollerin', deadlines closin' fast, Potholes yawnin', memories that last. Sun beatin' down, sweat drippin' in my eyes, Just tryin' to survive, beneath these endless skies. [Chorus] Steel wheels grindin', engine's screamin' loud, This ain't no easy life, amongst the weary crowd. A shot of courage, a puff to ease the pain, Buildin' roads back home, again and again. [Bridge] They don't see the struggle, the grit, the endless fight, Just smooth black asphalt, bathed in golden light. But every crack and curve, a story I could tell, Of broken dreams and hopes, that rise and fall as well. [Chorus] Steel wheels grindin', engine's screamin' loud, This ain't no easy life, amongst the weary crowd. A shot of courage, a puff to ease the pain, Buildin' roads back home, again and again. [Outro] Roads lead back home, yeah, that's the only truth, Built on sweat and tears, from my misspent youth. [End]
