Lyrics

When I opened up that beat-up old toolbox
Lookin' for a nine-sixteenth wrench
I found a note with my name written on it
Covered with greasy fingerprints
It said, "This hammer built the house you grew up in
"And that ruler carefully measured every board
"And that crescent wrench got my old truck started
"That snowy winter night when you were born
"I got this handsaw from your mother our first Christmas
"And it helped build her that red oak rocking chair
"And every time I saw her rocking you in it
"I felt richer than a Wall Street millionaire"
Son, take good care of your tools
And they'll take good care of you
With sweat and blood and common sense
There's no job too hard or big
With the right tools and some help from God above
Ain't no problem in this world
You can't fix
That socket set's gonna send you to college
And keep that tractor runnin' just a few more years
That Bartol knife belonged to your grandpa
And I can't use it without fightin' back the tears
Those channellocks will slip if you're not careful
They ain't the best but just the best I can afford
And this life comes with a good set of directions
If you're wonderin' what that Bible's in there for
Son, take good care of your tools
And they'll take good care of you
With sweat and blood and common sense
There's no job too hard or big
With the right tools and some help from God above
Ain't no problem in this world
You can't fix
And if you're lookin' for a nine-sixteenth box-end wrench
Findin' it shouldn't be too hard
It's right where I told you not to leave it
Where the wheel fell off your bike in the backyard
Son, take good care of your tools
And they'll take good care of you
With sweat and blood and common sense
There's no job too hard or big
With the right tools and some help from God above
Ain't no problem in this world
You can't fix
