Like a Viking

Pulled that engine block out barehanded

Boss just stared, completely stranded

Said, How'd you lift that thing alone

I just grinned said, It's in my bones

Fixed the leak, sealed the line

Clock still ticking, right on time

Don't need luck, don't need lightnin'

Just do it bold like a Viking

When the odds stack high and the road gets rough

I growl at the world and say, That's enough

Like a Viking swingin' that wrench

Beard full of glory and a lunchroom stench

I charge through fire, I don't do fright

With a thermos of coffee and a heart that fights

Like a Viking yeah, I don't fold

I brave the cold and the payroll hold

When it can't be done I'm the one they're likin'

'Cause I get it done like a Viking

Built that deck in a thunder squall

Rain came sideways, didn't care at all

Neighbor said, Man, you're gonna drown

I said, Not 'til this board is down

Cranked that bolt 'til the wrench went snap

Bit my tongue, said, How 'bout that

It's not pretty, it's just strikin'

Strong and stubborn like a Viking

When life throws storms and the boss throws shade

I sharpen my axe and call it a day

Like a Viking fearless soul

Wi-Fi's down but I'm on a roll

No helmet, just a ballcap bent

And a truck full of tools that pay the rent

Like a Viking through the grind and grime

Still clockin' in on borrowed time

When the job looks tough, I get excitin'

'Cause I live my life like a Viking

Maybe no longboat, no roaring sea

But I'm fighting dragons called policy

The paperwork's fierce, the printer's mean

But I'll raid that copier like a machine

Like a Viking bold and loud

A blue-collar saga that makes me proud

From frozen mornings to overtime nights

I swing my hammer 'til it feels just right

Like a Viking no quit in sight

My shield's a coffee cup, my sword's a light
