Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Well, the sun comes up and she’s already gone,
Steel-toed boots and her makeup on.
Hard hat shining like a halo gold,
Got blueprints folded and a heart of gold.
Boys on the crew know who’s in command,
When she points, they jump — they understand.
(Chorus)
‘Cause she’s the boss, and the foreman too,
Tells me what to fix and how to do.
She runs that job and she runs this house,
No one questions what she’s about.
When the hammer swings or the biscuits rise,
She’s got that “don’t even try” kind of eyes.
Yeah, she’s the boss… and the foreman too.
(Verse 2)
She drives that truck like she stole the thing,
Got a radio loud, and she sure can sing.
Paint on her jeans, dirt on her face,
Still the prettiest thing in the whole darn place.
I tried to tell her I’d lend a hand,
She just smiled — said “you wouldn’t understand.”
(Chorus)
‘Cause she’s the boss, and the foreman too,
Tells me what to fix and how to do.
She runs that job and she runs this house,
No one questions what she’s about.
When the hammer swings or the biscuits rise,
She’s got that “don’t even try” kind of eyes.
Yeah, she’s the boss… and the foreman too.
(Bridge)
Now I don’t mind takin’ orders all day,
‘Cause when the work is done, she lets me stay.
She’s tough as nails with a heart that’s true,
I’m lucky to be on her crew.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, she’s the boss, and the foreman too,
Tells me what to fix and how to do.
She builds the life I’m livin’ in,
From Sunday morning to Friday’s end.
She don’t wear a crown, but she sure rules my view —
Yeah, she’s the boss… and the foreman too.
