[Verse 1]
These steel toe boots gettin' heavy
And this hammer don't wanna swing
I got just enough gas in the Chevy
To get me back to work I think
But a 30 minute lunch break ain't enough
And the job is far from done
There ain't enough caffeine in my coffee cup
Today to wake me up

[Pre-Chorus]
But the screws need turning
And the frame needs nails
The roof needs work
And all the stairs need rails

[Chorus]
It might look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

[Post-Chorus]
I ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth
I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth
Where I can grow, and call home

[Verse 2]
There's hard hats weighing down my body
And this jacket don't help in the cold
Pour my hеart and soul into the concrete
Blood, swеat, and tears in every pore
But a 40 hour work week ain't enough
To finish all the things I need to do
Got just enough gas in the pickup truck
To make it back home to you
[Pre-Chorus]
But the doors need hinges
And the walls need painnt
The floors in the kitchen still got cracks and stains

[Chorus]
It might look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

[Post-Chorus]
I ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth
I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth
Where I can grow, and call home

[Bridge]
Sure the roof needs work, and the boots will hurt
And the wind blew half of it down
But even if the screws don't turn, and the crew don't learn
I will still put the stakes in the ground
And it might look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh

[Chorus]
It might look like destruction, oh
But I'm under construction, oh
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ain't try'na build a church, for what it's worth
I just need a patch of dirt, a bit of earth
Where I can grow, and call home
