Orly's Job

[Verse 1]

Sun comes up on a trench half-dug

Excavator growlin', kickin' up mud

Orly on the radio, loud as a train

"Move that pipe, boys! Do it again!"

Sergio's laughin', Luigi talks back

Johnny's got a shovel and a questionable plan

Cody and Jose are hollerin' across the lot

William's got a comeback that he probably should not

[Pre-Chorus]

Arnoldo's grinnin' like he knows what's next

Somebody's toolbox is somebody else's bet

[Chorus]

There's never a quiet day on Orly's job

The radios crackle and the hammers all knock

We give each other hell, then we share the last beer

That's family workin' when the whole crew's here

Oaxacans, Venezuelans, side by side in the dust

With Orly yellin' loud enough to rattle the trucks

And Boi runs the whole damn show, no question why

He wears the boss face and he don't need a tie

[Verse 2]

Sergio says Luigi parked crooked again

Luigi says Sergio can't read a tape to save him

Johnny's in the trench with a story too tall

Cody's got a radio but won't answer the call

Jose finds a pipe where nobody looked

William's makin' bets on who gets cooked

Arnoldo points at Boi, says, "There goes the lead"

Boi steals a glove and takes off at speed

[Pre-Chorus]

Orly's voice hits hard through the afternoon heat

"Who left that fitting in the middle of the street?"

[Chorus]

There's never a quiet day on Orly's job

The radios crackle and the hammers all knock

We give each other hell, then we share the last beer

That's family workin' when the whole crew's here

Oaxacans, Venezuelans, side by side in the dust

With Orly yellin' loud enough to rattle the trucks

And Boi runs the whole damn show, no question why

He wears the boss face and he don't need a tie

[Bridge]

When the rain comes down, we cover up the gear

When the long day bites, everybody's still here

Different roads behind us, one crew in the fight

We talk a lot of shit, but we make it right

Boi's on the tailgate, watchin' every move

If he wags that tail, then the whole job's approved

[Final Chorus]

There's never a quiet day on Orly's job

The excavators roar and the whole ground rocks

We give each other hell, then we laugh till we cry

That's family workin' underneath the same sky

Oaxacans, Venezuelans, side by side in the dust

With Orly yellin' loud enough to rattle the trucks

Sergio, Luigi, Johnny, Cody, Jose in line

William and Arnoldo, makin' chaos sound fine

And Boi runs the whole damn show, raise a cup up high

The best damn superintendent has four paws and watchful eyes

[Outro]

Radio crackle, engines cool, sunset on the crew

Orly hollers, "Same time tomorrow!" and Boi says, "Woof, that's two!"
