My working man

Lyrics

Five years ago in California, it was just your hand in mineTop down on that old Jeep, driving past the mountain lineThen two years back we packed it up, chased a brand new sunset westAnd moved out here to Kansas just to try and do our bestYeah, we gave our lives to Uncle Sam to get out of this messMy hard working man, always giving us your bestNow you’re working hard, but God will provide the rest(Chorus)And oh, it breaks my heart to miss you, but my love stands firm and trueWatching you step from black to purple to navy blueFrom the California mountains to wherever we may goYou’ve got a wife and baby girl who love you more than you knowYeah, we’re so proud of you(Verse 2)I show Addie pictures of her daddy in his crisp new uniformI tell her you're away at work, keeping us safe and warmHolding her close against my chest, my heart feels completely wholeThinking of the life we built, you’re the anchor of my soulEvery single mile you run, every heavy tear we cryIs building up a future under this big American sky(Chorus)And oh, it breaks my heart to miss you, but my love stands firm and trueWatching you step from black to purple to navy blueFrom the California mountains to wherever we may goYou’ve got a wife and baby girl who love you more than you know(Bridge)We used to shift that Jeep to drive when the mud got wild and steepNow I’m holding down the fort right here, watching over her while she sleepsYou're becoming the man you were always meant to be, doing it for us twoAnd baby, when you come back home, a whole new life begins for you(Guitar Solo / Fiddle Break)(Chorus)Yeah, it breaks my heart to miss you, but my love stands firm and trueWatching you step from black to purple to navy blueFrom the California mountains to wherever we may goYou’ve got two girls back at home who are dreaming of the day they hug you(Outro)Seeing you stand tall at graduation tells me everything I need to knowYou’re the home I’ve been searching for all along, no matter where we goYou brought us out of the shadows, you gave your girls the very bestYeah, we're so proud of you, baby, let your spirit restFive years down, a lifetime to goI can say that I'm proud of the life that we've grownI love you
