Clock In to Songs About Working: Anthems for Every Job

[Verse] Down on the tarmac, where the sun meets the steel, I’m just a the landing gear, but I know how I feel, I see the base, with the hustle and the grind, People and planes, all working in time. [Verse 2] I love the sights, of the crew on the ground, The smell of jet fuel, the familiar sounds, But when the plane starts to climb, it’s all noise and fear, In the dark, I’m blind, wishing I was still here. [Chorus] But when the engines roar, my heart starts to race, I’m lifted up high, to a dark, lonely place, In the belly of the beast, where the light’s out of reach, I’m just holding on, to the memories beneath. [Bridge] Then something shakes, and the system breaks, I feel the wind, and my fear finally fades, The earth below, it’s a beautiful sight, I see it all now, from this new, dizzying height. [Verse 4] I’ll return to the base, when the flight’s finally done, Back to the ground, where I’ll wait for the sun, But now I know, what it’s like to be free, To see the world from above, and feel the earth’s peace.

Verse 1: Got the top rolled down, cruising down the road A little beach town, summertime never gets old With you riding shotgun, hair blowing in the breeze I’ve been working all year, saving every dime Just dreaming of the surf, the salt and the lime Just me and you and your crazy rebel streak You get (that)crazy in your eyes when you realize that’s Skynard on the radio You start drumming on the dash just a making me laugh, what’s a boy to do when he hears sweet home… Chorus: Turn it up now, louder, louder Screaming every word from the top of our lungs now (There’s) nothing like singing a song you know by heart Turn it up now higher, higher Rocking the beat with our souls on fire Tell me do you know, tell me do you know what I’m talking about Everybody knows, everybody knows what I’m talking about So…turn it up now Verse 2: You got your hair pulled up, shirt off your shoulder We hear a beach bar thumping so we pull over It didn’t take long for you to find the stage A little wink and a glance and you went up to dance, but you stole the microphone As he pulled it from your hand, you yelled to the band, “how ‘bout a little more “Sweet Home” and… Chorus: Turn it up now, louder, louder Screaming every word from the top of our lungs now (There’s) nothing like singing a song you know by heart Turn it up now higher, higher Rocking the beat with our souls on fire Tell me do you know, tell me do you know what I’m talking about Everybody knows, everybody knows what I’m talking about So…turn it up now Chorus: Turn it up now, louder, louder Screaming every word from the top of our lungs now (There’s) nothing like singing a song you know by heart Turn it up now higher, higher Rocking the beat with our souls on fire Tell me do you know, tell me do you know what I’m talking about Everybody knows, everybody knows what I’m talking about So…turn it up now

Verse 1: Girl we’ve had our share of ups and downs I put you through hell, and heaven knows why you stuck around Waiting on me to finally see, somewhere in there…was the man, you knew that I could be You’ve seen me make a mess out of things in the worst of ways With worn out knees, for me, you talked to Jesus everyday Lord knows where I’d be, If either of you had given up on me Chorus: If I could rewind time, there’s one thing I would do I’d be the man I’m trying to be today And not that guy that put you through Those sleepless nights and selfish fights So many bridges I left burning… I’m working hard to get it right…still got so much left to learn… but everyday I try, to get one step closer to, The man that you deserve Verse 2: I stood there in that church that day and said I do But I didn’t face my past and all that broken glass I drug you through But, like a lighthouse in the storm, against a raging wind You stood strong, knowing all along, your light would guide me in Lord knows I should have drowned, Drifting lost until you found me Chorus: If I could rewind time, there’s one thing I would do I’d be the man I’m trying to be today, and not that guy that put you through Those sleepless nights and selfish fights So many bridges I left burning… I’m working hard to get it right…still got so much left to learn… If I could rewind time, there’s one thing I would do I’d be the man I’m trying to be today And not that guy that put you through Those sleepless nights and selfish fights So many bridges I left burning… I’m working hard to get it right…still got so much left to learn… but everyday I try, to get one step closer to, The man that you deserve
