| There are people in this country who work so hard every day |
| Not for fame or the fortune do they strive |
| But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay |
| It's time a few of them will be 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 sales |
| 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 |
| And we 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 the same machine |
| Hello America, let me thank you all for your time |
