Lyrics Forty Hour Week (For a Livin')

There are people in this country they work hard every day

Not for fame and fortune do they strive

But the fruits of their labors 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 worker 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

For the one behind the counter ringing up a sale

For the one who fights the fires the one who brings the mail

For everyone who works behind the scenes

You can see then every morning in the factories and the fields

In the city streets and the quiet country towns

Workin' together like spokes inside a wheel

They keep this country turnin' 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

For 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 machines

Hello, America let me thank you for your time
