"Under Construction" lyrics

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

But the screws need turning
And the frame needs nails
The roof needs work
And all the stairs need rails

It may look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

I'm not 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

There's hard hats weighing down my body
And this jacket don't help in the cold
Pour my heart and soul into the concrete
Blood, sweat, 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

But the doors need hinges
And the walls need painnt
The floors in the kitchen still got cracks and stains

It may look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

I'm not 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

Sure 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

It may look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

I'm not 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
