[Verse 1]

These steel toe boots gettin' heavy

And this hammer don't wanna swing

I got just enough gas in the Chevy

To get me back to work I think

But a 30 minute lunch break ain't enough

And the job is far from done

There ain't enough caffeine in my coffee cup

Today to wake me up

[Pre-Chorus]

But the screws need turning

And the frame needs nails

The roof needs work

And all the stairs need rails

[Chorus]

It might look like destruction, oh

But I'm under construction, oh

[Post-Chorus]

I ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth

I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth

Where I can grow, and call home

[Verse 2]

There's hard hats weighing down my body

And this jacket don't help in the cold

Pour my hеart and soul into the concrete

Blood, swеat, and tears in every pore

But a 40 hour work week ain't enough

To finish all the things I need to do

Got just enough gas in the pickup truck

To make it back home to you

[Pre-Chorus]

But the doors need hinges

And the walls need painnt

The floors in the kitchen still got cracks and stains

[Chorus]

It might look like destruction, oh

But I'm under construction, oh

[Post-Chorus]

I ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth

I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth

Where I can grow, and call home

[Bridge]

Sure the roof needs work, and the boots will hurt

And the wind blew half of it down

But even if the screws don't turn, and the crew don't learn

I will still put the stakes in the ground

And it might look like destruction, oh

But I'm under construction, oh

[Chorus]

It might look like destruction, oh

But I'm under construction, oh

[Post-Chorus]

I'm ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth

I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth

Where I can grow, and call home
