In the factories and the fields,
In the city streets and the

Workin' together like spokes

They keep this country

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.
