Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's out the door before the sun can rise, boots on the floor and fire in his eyes
Clocking in, rain or shine, building his life one nail at a time
Ain't one for words but his touch is strong, he don't say much but he's never wrong
And when the world feels too damn loud, he pulls me in and calms me down
[Chorus]
A hard-working American man with calloused hands and a steady plan
Sweat on his brow, dust on his jeans, heart full of honor and a mind full of dreams
A back bone strong as the steel he bends, he's the start of my day and my favorite end
Ain't no diamond but he shines like one, I love that man for all he's done
[Verse 2]
He don't care for fame or gold, just wants a little hand to hold
He'll give the shirt right off his back and never once ask for nothing back
His love is loyal, deep and wide, he ain't afraid to stand with pride
With country in his bones and dirt on his boots, he's the kindest words
[Chorus]
I love a hard-working American man with calloused hands and a steady plan
Sweat on his brow, dust on his jeans, heart full of honor and a mind full of dreams
A back bone strong as the steel he bends, he's the start of my day and my favorite end
Ain't no diamond but he shines like one, I love that man for all he's done
[Bridge]
He don't say much but he shows it all, a touch on my back, a hand on my hip
When the world spins, he runs on grit, ain't the kind to say what he won't prove
But I feel his love in the little signs, and when he walks through that door at night
Worn but smiling in the porch light, I thank the Lord I get to be the heart in the hands of a man like him
[Chorus]
I love a hard-working American man, he don't say much but he understands
Sweat on his brow, truth in his touch, that kind of love ain't found in much
He may not shine in a suit and tie, he's the reason my world feels right
[Outro]
