THESE HANDS, THEIR HEARTS

Letra

# THESE HANDS, THEIR HEARTS [Intro] [Sound FX: Early morning alarm, truck engine starting] [Soft acoustic guitar, distant pedal steel] [Verse 1] Thirty years old, but he's feeling forty-five, Four AM, another day to survive. Steel-toe boots and a coffee gone cold, Chasing down a paycheck, fighting off the cold. His hands are cracked, his back's worn thin, But he'd do it all tomorrow, then do it again. There's a picture on his dash, two beautiful girls, His wife and little angel, they're his whole damn world. [Pre-Chorus] [Drums building, electric guitar rising] And every time he thinks he's had enough, He remembers who he's fighting for, and he gets back up! [Chorus] [Full band explodes, powerful raspy male vocals] HE WORKS ALL DAY, LOVES ALL NIGHT! BREAKS HIS BACK JUST TO MAKE THEIR WORLD RIGHT! GOT A HEART FULL OF GOLD AND HANDS FULL OF SCARS, CHASING THAT SUN BENEATH THE STARS! He ain't rich, but he's got everything, A little girl's laughter and a wedding ring! Yeah, he'd give his life just to see 'em smile, AND THAT MAKES EVERY HARD-EARNED MILE WORTHWHILE! [Verse 2] [Steady driving drums, warm electric guitar] Six PM, and the sun's sinking low, Another twelve hours, but he's ready to go. His little girl's waiting by the windowpane, Counting every headlight coming down the lane. She hears that old truck and she runs for the door, Yelling, "Daddy's home!" as her feet hit the floor. His wife stands smiling with tears in her eyes, And all of his troubles just fade into the night. [Pre-Chorus] [Emotional guitar swell] He drops to his knees, catches her in his arms, And whispers, "Baby girl, you're worth every scar." [Chorus] [Explosive drums, soaring male vocals] HE WORKS ALL DAY, LOVES ALL NIGHT! BREAKS HIS BACK JUST TO MAKE THEIR WORLD RIGHT! GOT A HEART FULL OF GOLD AND HANDS FULL OF SCARS, CHASING THAT SUN BENEATH THE STARS! He ain't rich, but he's got everything, A little girl's laughter and a wedding ring! Yeah, he'd give his life just to see 'em smile, AND THAT MAKES EVERY HARD-EARNED MILE WORTHWHILE! [Bridge] [Music drops to piano and soft acoustic guitar] [Deep, emotional male vocals] Someday these hands won't be so strong, And that little girl will be grown and gone. But he'll remember those bright blue eyes, And how her little smile lit up his darkest nights. [Brief silence] [Voice rises with emotion] He never needed fortune... Never needed fame... Just to hear her call him Daddy... Made it worth the pain! [Final Chorus] [Massive electric guitar swell, thunderous drums, soaring emotional male vocals] HE WORKS ALL DAY, LOVES ALL NIGHT! HOLDS HIS WHOLE WORLD IN HIS ARMS SO TIGHT! THE YEARS MAY FADE, BUT HIS LOVE WON'T CHANGE, THROUGH EVERY STORM AND EVERY RAIN! He ain't rich, but he's got everything, His little girl's laughter and that wedding ring! And when she smiles, Lord, his whole world shines, SHE'S THE REASON HE KEEPS ON TRYING! [Outro] [Music softens, gentle acoustic guitar] [Sound FX: Front door opening, soft footsteps] [Soft, heartfelt male vocals] Yeah, these hands are worn... But this heart's still strong. For the two girls waiting... Right where I belong. [Final guitar chord fades]
