《Forty Hour Week (For a Livin’)》歌词

[00:00:01] Forty Hour Week - Alabama

[00:00:08] There are people in this country who work hard every day

[00:00:14] Not for fame or fortune do they strive

[00:00:20] But the fruits of their labor 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 workers let me thank you for your time

[00:00:37] You work a forty hour week for a livin' just to send it on down the line

[00:00:45] Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers let me thank you for your time

[00:00:51] You work a forty hour week for a livin' just to send it on down the line

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

[00:01:05] Or the one behind the counter ringing up the sale

[00:01:11] Or the one who fights the fires the one who brings the mail

[00:01:16] For everyone who works behind the scenes

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

[00:01:45] Hello Kansas wheat field farmer let me thank you for your time

[00:01:50] You work a forty hour week for a livin' just to send it on down the line

[00:01:59] Hello West Virginia coal miner let me thank you for your time

[00:02:05] You work a forty hour week for a livin' just to send it on down the line

[00:02:13] This is for the one who drives the big rig up and down the road

[00:02:18] Or the one out in the warehouse bringing in the load

[00:02:24] Or the waitress the mechanic the policeman on patrol

[00:02:30] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:02:36] With a spirit you can't replace with no machine

[00:02:44] Hello America let me thank you for your time
