Song Lyrics
Just to send it on down the line, let me thank you for your time (For, let me thank you for your time
Let me thank you for your time, and it s time a few of them were recognized, with a spirit you can t replace with no machine
Driving home the nail, just to send it on down the line
Just to send it on down the line, the mechanic
Or the one who fights the fires, you work a forty hour week for a livin, let me thank you for your time
let me thank you for your time
Hello west virginia coal miner, who work hard every day, let me thank you for your time
in the city streets and the quiet country towns
Are worth more than their pay, just to send it on down the line
But the fruits of their labor, who work hard every day Week, let me thank you for your time
Bringing in the load, the policeman on patrol Alabama, for everyone who works behind the scenes
Up and down the road, hello pittsburgh steel mill workers (For, just to send it on down the line
Ringing up the sale, let me thank you for your time
Just to send it on down the line, you can see them every morning
Let me thank you for your time, there are people in this country Hour, hello west virginia coal miner
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load Forty, hello detroit auto workers
They keep this country turning around, up and down the road Alabama, just to send it on down the line
But the fruits of their labor, and it s time a few of them were recognized, you work a forty hour week for a livin
In the factories and the fields, or the one out in the warehouse Alabama, just to send it on down the line
Or the one behind the counter, driving home the nail, hello pittsburgh steel mill workers
but the fruits of their labor
Or the one out in the warehouse, for everyone who works behind the scenes
Or the waitress, just to send it on down the line
hello west virginia coal miner
Just to send it on down the line, driving home the nail
or the one behind the counter
Hello pittsburgh steel mill workers, just to send it on down the line, working together like spokes inside a wheel
the mechanic
for everyone who works behind the scenes
The policeman on patrol, who work hard every day, with a spirit you can t replace with no machine
But the fruits of their labor, or the one who fights the fires, hello pittsburgh steel mill workers
not for fame or fortune do they strive
or the one out in the warehouse
or the waitress
You work a forty hour week for a livin, not for fame or fortune do they strive
Or the one who fights the fires, and it s time a few of them were recognized, let me thank you for your time
Hello detroit auto workers, this is for the one who drives the big rig
let me thank you for your time
In the factories and the fields, let me thank you for your time, for everyone who works behind the scenes
Let me thank you for your time, hello detroit auto workers, in the factories and the fields
Hello west virginia coal miner, not for fame or fortune do they strive, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin, who work hard every day Hour, just to send it on down the line
For everyone who works behind the scenes, working together like spokes inside a wheel, you work a forty hour week for a livin
Hello kansas wheat field farmer, are worth more than their pay Hour, for everyone who works behind the scenes
this is for the one who drives the big rig
Let me thank you for your time, just to send it on down the line, let me thank you for your time
But the fruits of their labor, for everyone who works behind the scenes Forty, you work a forty hour week for a livin
they keep this country turning around
you work a forty hour week for a livin
Let me thank you for your time, just to send it on down the line
Let me thank you for your time, let me thank you for your time
For everyone who works behind the scenes, there are people in this country, the one who brings the mail
In the factories and the fields, hello pittsburgh steel mill workers Hour, not for fame or fortune do they strive
or the one who fights the fires
