We're working hard.1

[Verse 1] Morning on the tin roof Already burns my skin Bucket full of cold water Gone before I begin The concrete keeps its promise To hold the fire all day I tie my hair back tighter And still the sweat won't stay [Pre-Chorus] My hands are sore by noon My shirt won't dry on me The whole sky leans so heavy And I can barely breathe [Chorus] In the heat of summer It's hard to work In the heat of summer The hours hurt Keep moving, keep moving Till the day lets go In the heat of summer That's all I know [Verse 2] Fan in the corner rattles Pushing dust around Hammer taps like thunder On the workbench sound The apple in my lunch pail Tastes like warm dust, too I take one step, then one more Just to make it through [Pre-Chorus] My back is bent by noon My boots are soaked with strain The whole world seems to shimmer And I feel the weight of rain [Chorus] In the heat of summer It's hard to work In the heat of summer The hours hurt Keep moving, keep moving Till the day lets go In the heat of summer That's all I know [Bridge] When the sun comes down And the shadows reach the yard I count the things I made Even when it got too hard [Chorus] In the heat of summer It's hard to work In the heat of summer The hours hurt Keep moving, keep moving Till the day lets go In the heat of summer That's all I know
