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

  • Hanging Up My Travelin Shoes
    "I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go.
    I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
    I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do.
    Its took me some time but I've made up my mind, I'm hanging up my travelin shoes...."
  • Some Other Place, Some Other Time
    "I remember walking through flowers in a garden of a mem'ry I'm thinkin' of.

    And all I see is sorrow. You're all I lived for. Now you're gone...."
