Fourty Hour Week

作曲：D. Loggins,D. Schlitz,L. Silver

There are people in this country

That 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

Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty hour week

For a living just to send it on down the line

Hello pittsburgh

Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty hour week for a living

Just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who swings the hammer

Driving home the nail

For the one behind the counter ringing up the sail

For the one who fights the fire

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 in the quiet country towns

Working together like spokes inside a wheel

They keep this country turning around

Hello kansas sweet little mama

Let me thank you for your time

You work a forty hour week

For a living 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 living

Just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who drives the big rig

Up and down the road

For the one out in the warehouse bringing

In the lord for the waitress the mechanic

The policemen on patrol

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
