《Forty Hour Week》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Hour Week - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)

[00:00:11] There are people in this country

[00:00:14] Who work hard every day

[00:00:17] Not for fame or fortune do they strive

[00:00:22] But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay

[00:00:28] And it's time a few of them were recognized

[00:00:33] Hello Detroit auto workers

[00:00:37] Let me thank you for your time

[00:00:39] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:00:44] Just to send it on down the line

[00:00:47] Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers

[00:00:51] Let me thank you for your time

[00:00:53] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:00:58] Just to send it on down the line

[00:01:02] This is for the one who swings the hammer

[00:01:05] Driving home the nail

[00:01:08] Or the one behind the counter ringing up the sale

[00:01:14] Or the one who fights the fires

[00:01:17] The one who brings the mail

[00:01:19] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:01:25] You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields

[00:01:31] In the city streets and the quiet country towns

[00:01:37] Working together like spokes inside a wheel

[00:01:42] They keep this country turning around

[00:01:47] Hello Kansas wheat field farmer

[00:01:51] Let me thank you for your time

[00:01:53] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:01:58] Just to send it on down the line

[00:02:02] Hello West Virginia coal miner

[00:02:05] Let me thank you for your time

[00:02:08] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:02:12] Just to send it on down the line

[00:02:16] This is for the one who drives the big rig

[00:02:20] Up and down the road

[00:02:22] Or the one out in the warehouse

[00:02:25] Bringing in the load

[00:02:28] Or the waitress the mechanic

[00:02:31] The policeman on patrol

[00:02:34] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:02:39] With a spirit you can't replace with no machine

[00:02:47] Hello America let me thank you for your time
