Forty Hour Week (For a Livin') Lyric | Alabama |  |  | FOR THE RECORD: 41 NUMBER ONE HITS |  |
| | | | |
There are people in this country who work 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 of them were recognized
Hello Detroit
auto 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 Hello Pittsburgh 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 fires, 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 is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road Or
the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load Or the waitress, the
mechanic, 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
