《Forty Hour Week (For a Livin’)》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Hour Week (For A Livin') - Alabama

[00:00:08] There are people in this country

[00:00:12] Who work hard every day

[00:00:15] Not for fame or fortune do they strive

[00:00:20] But the fruits of their labor

[00:00:23] Are worth more than their pay

[00:00:26] And it's time a few of them were recognized

[00:00:31] Hello Detroit auto worker

[00:00:55] Just to send it on down the line

[00:00:59] This is for the one who swings the hammer

[00:01:03] Driving home the nail

[00:01:05] For the one behind the counter

[00:01:08] Ringing up the sales

[00:01:11] For the one who fights the fires

[00:01:14] The one who brings the mail

[00:01:17] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:01:22] You can see them every morning

[00:01:25] In the factories and the fields

[00:01:28] In the city streets and the quiet country towns

[00:01:34] Working together like spokes inside a wheel

[00:01:39] They keep this country turning around

[00:02:16] Up and down the road

[00:02:19] For the one out in the warehouse

[00:02:22] Bringing in the load

[00:02:27] The policeman on patrol
