Hey The furnace burns in steel town Big business came and tried to shut em down Workers got together and they bought that mill They're making steel in Pittsburgh still The family farm down in Indiana The bank's foreclosin' just because they can The farmer can't do nothin' 'bout another drought But John, Waylon & Willie came and helped 'em out refrain: These are the days of America Brother to brother, hand in hand These are the days of America Walking together in the promise land The wheels in Detroit keep on turnin' A blue collar lesson there for the learnin' The throttle drives you anywhere no matter how far Just never give up on who you are These are the days of America Brother to brother, hand in hand These are the days of America Walking together through the promise land Right down the middle of America Where her heart beats strong and true Look up and just open your eyes The flag still waves and the eagle still flies refrain These are the days These are the days of America These are the days These are the days of America
