There are people i n thi s country who wo rk hard every day
Not fo r fame o r fo rtune do they strive
But the fruits of their labo r are wo rth mo re than their pay
A nd it's time a few of them were recognized

Hello Detroit aut o wo rkers, let me thank you fo r your time
You wo rk a fo rty hour week fo r a livi n', just t o send it on down the li ne
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill wo rkers, let me thank you fo r your time
You wo rk a fo rty hour week fo r a livi n', just t o send it on down the li ne

Thi s i s fo r the one who swi ngs the hammer, drivi ng home the nail
Or the one behi nd the counter, ri ngi ng up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who bri ngs the mail
Fo r everyone who wo rks behi nd the scenes

You can see them every mo rni ng i n the fact o ries a nd the fields
I n the city streets a nd the quiet country t owns
Wo rki ng t ogether l ike spokes i nside a wheel
They keep thi s country turni ng around

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you fo r your time
You wo rk a fo rty hour week fo r a livi n', just t o send it on down the li ne
Hello West Virgi nia coal mi ner, let me thank you fo r your time
You wo rk a fo rty hour week fo r a livi n', just t o send it on down the li ne

Thi s i s fo r the one who drives the big rig, up a nd down the road
Or the one out i n the warehouse, bri ngi ng i n the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol
Fo r everyone who wo rks behi nd the scenes

With a spirit you can't replace with no machi ne
Hello America let me thank you fo r your time
