Zach Bryan - Tradesman

No one on this side of town knows a good place for a boy to drown
They look at me so strange when I talk
I wish I was a tradesman learning from some beat down old layman
On some hillside they ain’t named yet
sleeping next to mountain fire smoke
And everyone lately’s scaring me
it’s all backdoor deals and therapy
The only callous I’ve grown is in my mind
I wish I was a tradesman playin’ with some tuned up tired string band
Somewhere out by the badlands way past closing time
So if you wanna trade I’d say its a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know that the old feeling of a five o’clock smile
And know I didn’t take no easy way out
There’s something more that I need than accolades and sympathy
For taking in the summer heat while they smoke big cigars
So give me something I can’t fake
That rich boys can’t manipulate
Something real that they can’t take
Cuz lord I’m not your star
So if you wanna trade I’d say its a hard earned mile
Wanna sweat like hell, throw a hammer down
And know that the old feeling of a five o’clock smile
And know I didn’t take no easy way out
And everyone lately’s scaring me
it’s all backdoor deals and therapy
The only callous that I’ve grown is in my mind

[@WhiteColonizer]

Been a tradesman since i was 12, helping my dad change out toilets and dig trenches. I'm 35 now and i have my own construction company out of Washington. I help to hire struggling men and women who just got out of prison and need a little help. I've worked from Alaska to Florida learning different trades as i went and had experiences you can't replace. I want to teach people what I've learned and help them succeed. Any tradesman will tell you that you can't replace some of the beautiful places you get to go or some great clients you run into. Stay blessed y'all

[@XxCHASEJENKINSxX]

Where in Washington? Let’s get a beer.

First time hearing this. Literally just now and I broke down knowing I’m not alone. Thank you man. God bless all my hard working tradesmen and blue collar workers.

[@bravo9890]

But every time I listen to music it's like you're talking about me. Swear to God you're my soul twin man. I used to be a construction plumber.

"Im a famous musician I am above the law" Get arrested 2 times in 3 days due to failure to obey a lawful order and interupting a ongoing investigation/ traffic stop. Then threatens to have the cops badge when they wont unarrest him. Quite the man you guys idolize.
