Clock In to Songs About Working: Anthems for Every Job

[Verse] I grew up with a dream, watching planes in the sky, Now I'm at Seletar where my Gulfstream starts to fly, From the coast to the clouds, my journey's in the air, Just a small-town kid with dreams, going everywhere. [Verse 2] Mama always said, "Set your sights high and strong," Now I'm touching down in places where I belong, From the desert's dust to the mountain's snowy peaks, I'm living high and proud, 'cause dreams are what I seek. [Chorus] High flying dreams, taking me miles away, From the fields and country roads, to the city’s bright array, With my heart on wings and the wind in my hair, I’m soaring through the heavens, no longer bound to care. [Verse 3] Late nights in the hangar, working on my craft, Now I’m in the cockpit, making memories that last, From sunrise to sunset, I'm chasing the horizon, With every flight I take, my spirit keeps on risin'. [Verse 4] Friends back home can't believe the places I have seen, From Nashville to New York, and every town between, But I've got roots and wings, my heart knows where to land, A country boy at heart, with dreams that understand. [Chorus] High flying dreams, taking me miles away, From the fields and country roads, to the city’s bright array, With my heart on wings and the wind in my hair, I’m soaring through the heavens, no longer bound to care.

[Verse] Aspiring soul a natural grace Natural leader a shining face Achiever's heart a mind so bright Hardworking spirit a guiding light [Verse 2] Intelligent thinker a burning fire Climbing upwards ever higher Facing darkness without a doubt Roaring forward never out [Chorus] In the depths we seek the flame Life's a game no one stays the same Push through pain rise above the shame In this world nothing stays the same [Verse 3] Wanderer searching for the truth Chasing dreams since my youth Fighting shadows that block my way Standing tall come what may [Bridge] Every fall I rise again Bleeding heart and broken skin Life's a war I'm here to win True grit coursing deep within [Verse 4] Anxious heart but steady hand Keep on pushing understand There's no map no promised land Just a fight on shifting sand

[Verse] Cooper lives in Queensland, where the cane fields grow, Spends his nights on bongs and games, nothing much to show. Jared's out in Perth, working on his strength, Big muscles, Slayer mood, he's always going full length. [Verse 2] Cooper's mind is foggy, from the smoke and screens, War Thunder battles, filling up his dreams. Jared’s got his metal blaring through the night, Sensual heart, but always ready for a fight. [Chorus] Two lives on two coasts, living worlds apart, One's lost in the haze, the other's got a fiery heart. Queensland to Perth, they may never meet, But their stories weave together, in this country beat. [Verse 3] Cooper in his hammock, drifting with the breeze, Wishing he could find some kind of inner peace. Jared lifts the iron, sweat upon his brow, Looking for a meaning, in the here and now. [Verse 4] Cooper’s got the sunshine, but his soul feels gray, Caught up in the echoes of another wasted day. Jared finds his solace, in the steel and sound, Trying to discover where his true self can be found. [Chorus] Two lives on two coasts, living worlds apart, One's lost in the haze, the other's got a fiery heart. Queensland to Perth, they may never meet, But their stories weave together, in this country beat.

In the sky, flying high, next to nude Angels weeping I think it's a sign, but my mind refuses to believe it I see priests lining the sides of the shores grieving Beside demons who keep, leaning on horned winged creatures Who breathe steam and extend a single wing - thirty meters I see them, drag curvy daggers in the dirt, and speak in evil Wording, and from Earth, would spring a burning, cursed Seething helix of worms and serpents, turning and squirming Bursting from the surface, and curling as if birthed From a whirling dervish, twirling, encircling the turf The sheer girth of this herculean curse was spurning And working it's murderous hurt, on the servants whose nervous Verses - summoned it up, as they were running and huddling Their ugly gluttonous brother, suckled and bludgeoned them And fed on their fucking stomachs, as they bled in the mud Covered in hundreds of sudsy blood puddles, dug in, struggling Like slugs suffering, or bugs stuck in gum, they muttered And grumbled, uttering muddles, from cut tongues that hung, sputtering Suddenly shuddered by a ton of grubs, above them hovering Which plunged down upon crowns, the sound of puckering Resounded, bouncing from the ground to the mountains, through towns It echoed, through deserts and forests and meadows around us Countless were left headless, their necks bent, stretching, settled Twitching in beds of their intestines, and dented metal I watched in horror as the writhing force cornered Each priest, horseman, demon, and warrior swordsman And began to immediately sweep, over the corpses Greedily eating scores of their sore, beaten torsos Feeding, I observed the keen serpent-worm speeding Over the beach, seemingly screeching, my ears bleeding Why would these people bring forth such a horrible being Which then would proceed to destroy their hoard completely? I saw reinforcements pour to the beast, swords gleaming Swinging repeatedly, screaming in torment, as it defeated Them easily, the fiendish ritual performed by the morbid Had transformed by metamorphosis, into a war for this Land, they tried to torch the mammoth with scorching Flammable orbs advancing towards it from enchanted sorcerous Hands, but they glanced off the animal, whose mandible cracked Lashing an enormous, coarse, forked tongue through the backs Of it's attackers, slapping the organs out of them, laughing And cackling, as the black witchcraft they practiced had no actual Effect on their master, the magical casters defected back To their castles, leaving the ones left to patch up the disaster It was but a few minutes, until the spinning devil had finished Dispatching the final frightened packs of men, and then it Casually turned to me, grinning, as if to brag of it's winning And to turn my attention to the fact that I was the last one living The colossal monster, then stomped off, in the distance The mixed crossed fossils of its dark apostles sticking In the sludge as a testament to its gothic existence

[Verse] I drank that bitter tonic, down by the old creek, Promised to cleanse my body, in just a couple weeks. They said to ditch the doctors, natural is the key, But now I'm feeling worse, what’s happening to me? [Verse 2] Early morning sunlight, it don't ease the pain, I’m searching for some answers, but it's drivin' me insane. The herbs and all the tinctures, they’re stacked up on the shelf, But this ol' folk solution, ain't helpin' my health. [Chorus] Oh, cleanse me of this crazy plan, I’m beggin’ for an end. Science may be faulty, but I need a helping hand, Purging the parasite, ain't working like they planned. [Verse 3] They said avoid the tablets, the pills from a lab, Instead I found myself in this healing-minded cab. The ride it’s gettin’ bumpy, my guts in disarray, This country remedy, ain't showin' me the way. [Verse 4] I spent my nights in worry, my days in pure regret, Believed in nature’s power, but it ain't done me good yet. I used to trust the old ways, the roots and tree bark stew, But now I lie here prayin’, for somethin' real and true. [Chorus] Oh, cleanse me of this crazy plan, I’m beggin’ for an end. Science may be faulty, but I need a helping hand, Purging the parasite, ain't working like they planned.

[Verse] Got a dirt road in my veins, running deep and wild, Kicking up the dust, just me since I was a child, Saw the sunset on the fields, paints a golden hue, Life on this old backroad is the only life I knew. [Verse 2] Tractor in the distance, engine hums a tune, Cornfields whisper secrets to the rising moon, Grandpa's over yonder, sitting by the barn, Telling tales of yesteryears and working on the farm. [Chorus] There's a dirt road in my veins, no city lights for me, Just the stars above and fields as far as I can see, From dawn till dusk, this land's my everything, Got a dirt road in my veins, and country songs to sing. [Verse 3] Old dog in the backseat, tail's wagging free, Riding shotgun through the pines, the only way to be, Momma's home cooking, scent fills up the air, Sunday supper with the kin, a blessing we all share. [Bridge] We ain't got no high-rise dreams, or avenues of gold, Just a rusty Ford and family roots taking hold, Life's a winding journey, not a straight-laced path, Every twist and turn brings a hearty, country laugh. [Chorus] There's a dirt road in my veins, no city lights for me, Just the stars above and fields as far as I can see, From dawn till dusk, this land's my everything, Got a dirt road in my veins, and country songs to sing.
