There are people in this country
Who works hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor
Are worth more than their pay.
And it's time a few them were recongnized..
Hello Detroit auto workers,
Let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line
Hello Pitsburgh steel mill workers,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line.
This is for the one who swings the hammer,
Driving home the nail.
Or the one behind the counter,
Ringing up the sale.
Or the one who fights the fire
Or the one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
You can see them every morning
in the factories and the fields.
In the city streets
And the quiet country towns.
Working together
Like spokes inside a wheel.
They keep this country turning around..
Hello Kansas wheat field farmer,
Let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin'
Just to send it on down the line.
Hello west virginia coal miner
Let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
Just to send it on down the line.
This one's for the one who drives the big rig
Up and down the road.
Or the one out in the wharehouse,
Bringing in the load.
Or the waitress, the mechanics
The policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine.
Hello, America,
Let me thank you for your time..
