Soft Hands Don’t Build Houses — Chase Dalton (Official Lyric Video)

Chase Dalton — "Soft Hands Don’t Build Houses" (Official Lyric Video) From the album Enough — out July 1, 2026 A framer comes home with cuts he didn’t think to mention. The same hands that swung the hammer all week are the ones that hold his daughter after a 2 a.m. nightmare. This is a song about the two lives a working father’s hands live — and why he never had to choose between them.
