Dear Fastener Industry
Inspired By Cody Johnson’s “Dear Rodeo”
New Lyrics Written By Craig Penland

Dear Fastener Industry
I’d be lying if I said you don’t still get to me some days
After all the backorders, the rush freight, and price waves.
You’ve worn out every gauge.

Dear Fastener Industry
I’d like to say I always had access to all the metric stock,
That I ran the game and always watched the clock.
No regrets, no second-guess—just moved along…
But you and I both know I’d be dead wrong.

Dear Fastener Industry
I’d like to say I always had access to all the metric stock,
That I ran the game and always watched the clock.
No regrets, no second-guess—just moved along…
But you and I both know I’d be dead wrong.

Between every DIN code, spec, and grind,
I’ve built more than orders—I’ve built peace of mind.
Yeah, I’ve been stretched, and I’ve been toughened.

Between the near misses and freight that stalled,
And every “no quote” phone call I ever called—
I’ll do it all again–Lord only knows.

So Dear Fastener Industry
I’ve chased down parts from every shore,
Found what they needed and still found more.
I’ve held my ground through the toughest calls,
And kept on moving when the pressure stalled…
Because serving this trade is worth it all.

Between the near-wins and the deals hard-fought,
And every solution I’ve finally brought,
I’m seasoned… and I’ve earned it.

And somehow the highs outweigh the lows,
And I’d do it all again—Lord only knows.

Dear Fastener Industry,
You’ve challenged me, and yet somehow
You’re still the fire I carry now.
There’s more ahead—I feel it so.
Dear Fastener Industry…
You’ll never let me go
