Sun hits the mesa blue denim glows
Torch dances where the canyon wind blows
Sparks write bright script on the cold steel plate
Humming a tune that the radio played
Blue denim mesa he sings to the steel
Blue denim mesa the heat is real
Sparks fly like stars in the broad daylight
Humming low turning darkness to light
Blue denim mesa he welds through the night
Coffee thermos sits on a hot rock ledge
Calloused hands steady the welding rod's edge
Radio crackles a static old song
He hums along where the notes belong
Blue denim mesa he sings to the steel
Blue denim mesa the heat is real
Sparks fly like stars in the broad daylight
Humming low turning darkness to light
Blue denim mesa he welds through the night
Canyon walls swallow the midday sun
His shadow stretches the day's work half done
Metal screams soft as the seam seals tight
Humming keeps rhythm through the waning light
Blue denim mesa he sings to the steel
Blue denim mesa the heat is real
Sparks fly like stars in the broad daylight
Humming low turning darkness to light
Blue denim mesa he welds through the night
Taxi meter ticks on the valley floor
I've driven thousands through that desert door
None wear the peace of a man who creates
While the world consumes what earth dictates
Sunset paints the mesa in gold and rust
Welder packs up earns his daily crust
Last humming note drifts on the evening breeze
Blue denim rests where the cottonwood trees
Blue denim mesa he sings to the steel
Blue denim mesa the heat is real
Sparks fly like stars in the broad daylight
Humming low turning darkness to light
Blue denim mesa he welds through the night
Engine turns I pull from the mesa side
Blue denim humming stays on my mind
