If you got up this morning then you went to work today, 
This song's for you
And if you put eight honest hours in, 
For eight hours worth of pay, this song's for you

If it's taking all you got these days just to make ends meet, 
You'd like to give a piece of your mind 
To those fat cats on Wall Street, this song's for you

If you go to church on Sunday 
And you try to do what's right, this song's for you

If you've been known to drink a beer, 
And raise hell on a Friday night, this song's for you

If you wish we didn't have to go, 
And send our boys to war, 
But you still think this country of ours is sure worth dying for

This song's for you, you know who you are
We're up on this stage, but you're the star
You're why we, do what we do
We want you to know, this song's for you

Now if you love country music, 
As real as it comes, this song's for you
And if you came here tonight, 
Hoping you might hear you some, this song's for you

If you paid your hard earned money to that bouncer at the door, 
To hear the kind of songs that you don't get to hear much anymore

This song's for you, you know who you are
We're up on this stage, but you're the star
You're why we, do what we do
We want you to know, this song's for you

You might've lost a friend, a job, 
Or someone broke your heart
But just like you might need it to, 
The healings in the tune

This song's for you, you know who you are
We're up on this stage, but you're the star
You're why we, do what we do
We want you to know, this song's for you

You deserve so much more it's true, 
We want you to know, this song's for you
