About

A heartfelt country ballad driven by storytelling verse structure and twangy guitar riffs that evoke the pain of lost love on endless roads. Acoustic strumming lays the foundation, complemented by haunting pedal steel slides and fiddle accents that swell in the chorus and solo, creating a warm, analog mix with subtle reverb for an intimate, radio-ready feel. The narrative unfolds over simple chord progressions, blending nostalgic twang with resilient hope.

Lyrics

Dawn breaks, slow hands calloused And true rise with the sun Got work to do Plowed these roads since I was a boy Back breaking under that summer sky Sweat on my brow, dirt in my veins Building a life through the pouring rain Hard work, it's a fire in my soul I'll turn in the soil Making it whole, aching my bones But my heart sings, my heart sings loud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Nights when the weary tries to creep And dreams are quitting But I push through the wind For the ones I love For the life we've sown And every blister I promise I've grown Hard work, it's a fire in my soul I'll turn in the soil Making it whole, aching my bones But my heart sings, my heart sings loud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud Hard work, yeah, I'm proud
