JJ, Your Pride and Joy

[Intro]

Yeah, this one’s for Joseph Pino Montoya

And little JJ, one year strong

[Verse 1]

Joseph wakes before the sunrise climbs

Hard hat ready, got a hundred moving parts in line

Excavators growl where the red dirt bends

Project manager with a plan and a crew of friends

Trench boxes ordered, check the numbers twice

Safety manager calling, “Make sure everything’s right”

Pipe in the ground, deadlines on the wall

He keeps the whole operation moving through it all

[Pre-Chorus]

But when the workday fades and he walks through the door

One little laugh makes him want nothing more

[Chorus]

JJ, you’re his pride and joy

One year old, his favorite boy

Joseph may not know what the future brings

But he knows the love that a father gives

Unconditional, steady and true

Every road he takes, he’ll walk with you

From the jobsite dust to the evening sky

JJ, you’re the reason he tries

JJ, you’re the reason he tries

[Verse 2]

He loves his crew, every hand on deck

Keeps the schedule tight and the details checked

From the first dug trench to the final sign

He puts in the hours, makes the whole thing align

Dallas blue and silver when the weekend comes

Dodger blue pride when the summer sun runs

But the greatest team that he’s ever known

Is JJ in his arms when they’re finally home

[Pre-Chorus]

He can’t predict every turn up ahead

But he’ll be there for the tears and the laughs you spread

[Chorus]

JJ, you’re his pride and joy

One year old, his favorite boy

Joseph may not know what the future brings

But he knows the love that a father gives

Unconditional, steady and true

Every road he takes, he’ll walk with you

From the jobsite dust to the evening sky

JJ, you’re the reason he tries

[Bridge]

When the plans change fast and the pressure runs high

He’ll build you a shelter beneath any sky

No blueprint needed, no perfect design

Just his hand in yours and your heart next to mine

[Final Chorus]

JJ, you’re his pride and joy

One year old, his favorite boy

Joseph found a love no deadline can move

A father’s heart with everything to prove

Unconditional, steady and true

Every road he takes, he’ll walk with you

From the jobsite dust to the evening sky

JJ, you’re the reason he tries

[Outro]

Joseph and JJ, side by side

A little boy and his father’s pride
