HeyThe furnace burns in steel town
Big business came and tried to shut 'em down
The workers got together and they bought that mill
They're making steel in Pittsburgh stillThe family farm down in Indiana
The bank's foreclosin' just because they can
And the farmer can't do nothin' 'bout another drought
Sir John, Waylon and Willie came and helped 'em outThese are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
These are the days of America
Walking together in the promise landThe 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'Cause these are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
Well these are the days of America
Walking together through the promise landRight down the middle of America
Where her heart beats strong and true
You look up, just open your eyes
The flag still waves and the eagle still fliesThese are the days of America
Brother to brother, hand in hand
These are the days of America
Walking together in the promise landThese are the days
Yeah, these are the days of America
These are the days
Yeah, these are the days of America
