[Intro]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Not my first rodeo, this ain't my first plan
I been pulling double shifts since the job began
Blueprint in my pocket, hammer in my hand
Give me two weeks, I'll turn this dirt to something grand
Calloused hands, steel-toe boots
Grindin' out the honest truth

[Chorus]
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it
Sweat on my brow, every nail, yeah, I sorted it
Brick by brick, don't you dare ignore it
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, you couldn't afford it

[Verse 2]
You want it fast and cheap, that's a code violation
I'm pourin' proper footings for a solid foundation
You haggle on the rebar, you skimp on the frost line
When the frost heave hits, this whole damn thing is mine
Calloused hands, steel-toe boots
Grindin' out the honest truth

[Chorus]
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it
Sweat on my brow, every nail, yeah, I sorted it
Brick by brick, don't you dare ignore it
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, you couldn't afford it

[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental with steel guitar and electric guitar leads]

[Chorus]
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it
Sweat on my brow, every nail, yeah, I sorted it
Brick by brick, don't you dare ignore it
If I built it any better, you couldn't afford it

[Outro]
You couldn't afford it
Nah, you couldn't afford it
[Fade out with steel guitar wail]
