Verse 1
Friday shift at four o'clockFactory whistle through the rainWe wait outside beside his old truckWhole family holding one gold frameHe walks out carrying the toolboxForty years inside that handSees us standing by the doorwayStops before he understands
Chorus
Dad put the old toolbox downAnd we wrapped our arms around himSaid the mortgage and the bills are handledRest is all we ask of himDad put the old toolbox downHis work boots quiet on the groundFor every year he carried all of usLove came back and carried him out
Verse 2
Mum has dinner in the kitchenRetirement tickets on the plateHe reads the card and wipes his glassesSays I never thought I'd see this day
Bridge
Strong hands finally freeHe built the road that carried me
