Lyrics

[Verse]
In the heart of Tennessee, where the rivers run deep,
The folks at Tenneco lay the dreams they keep,
Department One and Five, building exhaust with pride,
In the sweat and the grit, they find their stride.

[Verse 2]
When the whistle blows at dawn, and the day's begun,
They forge steel and dreams, 'neath the Southern sun,
With calloused hands and a fire in their eyes,
They craft tomorrow's roads, under clear blue skies.

[Chorus]
Oh, it's hard work at Tenneco, where the metal meets the flame,
Every bend, every weld, it's more than just a name,
For the folks in One and Five, who give it all they've got,
Building the heartbeat of the highways, in this country we love a lot.

[Verse 3]
Echoes of the past, in every wrench and gear,
Generations of strength, that built careers,
From dusk till dawn, they stand in line,
Creating the power where the engines whine.

[Bridge]
And in the evening light, when they head back home,
They carry the pride that the work has grown,
In the heart of Tennessee, that work will always show,
With every Tenneco exhaust, the love will surely flow.

[Chorus]
Oh, it's hard work at Tenneco, where the metal meets the flame,
Every bend, every weld, it's more than just a name,
For the folks in One and Five, who give it all they've got,
Building the heartbeat of the highways, in this country we love a lot.
