[Verse] Sunrise hits the corner store, Dusty boots on the weathered floor, Mama’s prayers and a strong cup of joe, Carrying dreams where the red dirt grows. [Pre-Chorus] Every sweat and every mile, Built from heartbreak, stacked in piles. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on to that blue-collar dream, Working late under neon beams, Keep the fire burning steady and bright, Chasing dawn through the long, dusty night. Hold on, hold on through the pain and the strain, Life’s a river, hard work’s the rain, Lift your voice where the heartland sings, This is where hope still clings. [Verse] Faded jeans and a Sunday smile, Walking strong every dusty mile, With callused hands and a heart that’s brave, Making small steps on this worn-out way. [Pre-Chorus] Every tear and every fight, Lighting stars in the darkest night. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on to that blue-collar dream, Working late under neon beams, Keep the fire burning steady and bright, Chasing dawn through the long, dusty night. Hold on, hold on through the pain and the strain, Life’s a river, hard work’s the rain, Lift your voice where the heartland sings, This is where hope still clings. [Bridge] When the world looks cold and gray, I find my strength in yesterday, Every mile, every scar, Shows me just how loved we are. [Chorus] Hold on, hold on to that blue-collar dream, Working late under neon beams, Keep the fire burning steady and bright, Chasing dawn through the long, dusty night. Hold on, hold on through the pain and the strain, Life’s a river, hard work’s the rain, Lift your voice where the heartland sings, This is where hope still clings. [Outro] Hold on, keep the dream alive, In this dust, we’ll always rise.
