[Verse 1 - The Crew]Six trucks rolling, yeah we on our waySomething big is going dizzown todayCompactor, Scraper, Grader — beep beepRoller and Striper creepin down the streetWater Truck is set, Paver blow that huffThis road-building crew? We tough enoughRumbling, revving, shaking up the groundAll the homies gather 'roundFrom here to there, load by load'Bout to lay a mega road
[Verse 2 - Dig and Clear]Excavator first, he digging inScooping boulders — that's where we beginLifting trees and trash, he do it with easeSkid Steer on the assist, done with a breezeThey clear tons of loads up out the wayDump Truck haul 'em all, he don't playBulldozer roll up heavy on the sitePushing through the dirt with all his mightStumps and rocks and rubble tooRipping, tearing — yeah he's coming through
[Hook]We're coming through...Yeah, we're coming through...We're coming through...We're the road crew
[Verse 3 - Shape and Spray]Scraper on the scene, reshaping landCutting, clearing — smooth and strong, understand?Sharp and rugged blade, nah she don't playEmbankment and the roadbed — laid todayWhen the grit and dust begin to flyWater Truck is posted, standing byJets of water spraying on the groundSo the dust and dirt don't blow aroundKeeping it clear so we can see the wayEvery truck is locked in for the day
[Verse 4 - Flatten and Pave]Compactor love the job, he rolling slowSquishing with the spikes from head to toeHeavy wheels push down, he going hardSmashing, mashing, yard by yardGrader know exactly what to doSharp blade cut the surface smooth right throughEvery bump and every groove is goneShe leave it flat and make it strongPaver's hopper filled, she steady nowRolling slow, laying blacktop downSpreading asphalt all the wayShe gon' cover this whole road today

[Verse 5 - Finish Line]Roller with a 22-ton loadGoing over every inch of roadPushing, squishing, just like thatMake the surface hard and flatCement Mixer pulling on the scenePouring every load up smooth and cleanCurbs and gutters, fresh concreteLining both sides of the street
[Verse 6 - Open Up]Crane Truck hang the signs and lightsSet 'em in all straight and tightStriper Truck gon' mark the streetRibbons sprayed on, clean and neatYellow lines and white lines showAll the traffic where to goOne more thing we gotta do —Let the traffic all roll throughRoad is open up at lastAll the cars go swooshing past
[Hook]We're coming through...Yeah, we're coming through...We're coming through...We're the road crew
[Outro - slowing down]The trucks turn back to look and smile"This was awesome — every mile"This big job was tough but funNow we drive off, one by oneProud that we have done our bestThe trucks roll home to get some restAway we rumble, out of sightGood job, road builders...and goodnight
