VERSE 2:
You can see them every morning
In the factories and the fields,
In the city streets and the

Workin' together like spokes
inside a wheel,
They keep this country
turnin' around.

Just to send it on down the line.
Hello West Virginia coal mine worker,
Let me thank  you for your time.
You work a Forty Hour Week for a livin'
Just to send it on down the line.

BRIDGE 2:
This is for the one who drives
the big rig
Up and down the road;
For the one out in the warehouse
Bringin' in the load;
For the waitress, the mechanic,
The policeman on patrol;
For everyone who works behind
the scenes.
