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

Yes agreed! Country music is definately the most overlooked genre of music, the only genre of today's music that I can listen and constantly relate to.

Why is it that I try to write something to give a little respect to those who, like me, work that damn 40 hour job and get much less than we deserve, both in pay and respect, yet we do sooo much for the country.... so when I write that thread, by posting the song lyrics, everyone comes in and talks about songs instead of bowing their heads and really spending a minute to think about all those people who help make their lives better.....

Sorry about taking the post off track. My bad for contributing. I totally agree with you, the working man does so much for this country that much more gratitude is absolutely deserved. I was just more or less paying homeage to Country music for representing and paying respect to those who deserve it most. :beer:
