Every Ocean, Every Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men clock in, put their head down low Grease on their hands and a heart of gold Twenty-six years on that factory floor Wiring motors, always giving more Then he traded in the steel and snow For a desert sun most would never know [Chorus] Here's to the man who gave it all Crossed every ocean, answered every call Through the aches and pains he never quit Laughing through the dust and the grit A heart so big it don't know small Here's to the man who gave it all [Verse 2] From the sands of Iraq, Afghanistan He kept on standing, kept becoming the man Dubai rose up like a golden shore The Bahamas opened one more door Now he's pulling lobster, casting lines Tim's finally living on his own time [Chorus] Here's to the man who gave it all Crossed every ocean, answered every call Through the aches and pains he never quit Laughing through the dust and the grit A heart so big it don't know small Here's to the man who gave it all [Bridge] Thailand sunsets, Tanzania skies Portugal to Spain, Vietnam at night Zanzibar to Asia, he's seen this world through And every mile he carried us there too [Verse 3] Every sacrifice he made, he made it look easy That crooked grin keeping life breezy So Tim, hang that hard hat on the wall You made our lives unforgettable through it all And Barry's walking with you on that shore Every beach, every wave, forevermore [Chorus] Here's to the man who gave it all Crossed every ocean, answered every call Through the aches and pains he never quit Laughing through the dust and the grit A heart so big it don't know small Here's to the man who gave it all [Outro] So proud of you, Tim, more than words can say Barry's beside you for your beautiful days
