Lyrics:
This is for the one who swings the hammer
Driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter
Ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires
The one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes
#Alabama #FortyHourWeek #ForA Livin #OfficialVideo
We need Alabama more today than we ever did.
Bring y’all town ova wid next song
Fact!
These are the people who make the country work, not the politicians. Period.
Politicians are the enemy of our country.
They come to Congress middle class and come out millionaires.
It's very mysterious...
@@bluecollarlit It is because of Coppurtion
What about the politicians who come from the working class, like AOC?
The hatred of politicians is childish, myopic, and unproductive. You vote for your politicians, so in part WE are all responsible for what we get. YOU probably don't pay much attention to politics and respond to attack ads that fearmonger and easily debunkable lies. You probably respond to the manufactured culture war, and think the other party is EVIL. Politicians adapt to the electorate.
The other factor is money. It's not fucking "mysterious" why only rich people become politicians. It's because, partly, the voters are so easily manipulated, misinformed, and tribalist, that whoever has the most money to put inflammatory shit in front of as many people drives turnout. On top of that, simply having the free time to educate yourself and money to hire your first campaign workers can be a massive risk if not impossible.
So first, blame the electorate.
Second, blame the election finance system.
Third, blame the first-past-the-post election system that discourages third parties.
Hi how are you doing today?
This country needs a lot more of this 🇺🇸
naw, man social justice and equity checks
Who made you Mr. Important telling others to work harder for greedy people? You probably are just a desk jockey who believes absurd Stone Age ghost stories about talking snakes, golem spell dirt men, enchanted fruit, talking shrubbery, food falling from the sky, a female salt shaker, talking donkeys, Noah's magic zoo boat, ghost sex, alien landings, zombies, magic hair, magical goblins, giants (Bigfoot), magically multiplying food, magic blood, an invisible magic kingdom, the heebie-jeebies, 900 year old humans, and a man who lived in a fish. Fools believe that nonsense. Why do you enjoy being fooled?
Hi how are you doing today?
Yeah absolutely. Govt needs to stop selling out working class.
@@korykeller4611 What does that even mean?
I work in a factory that makes batteries for hospitals and our military. This song fills me with a massive sense of patriotism and makes me feel appreciated for the product I help to make. Thank you Alabama.
I work as a solder, we solder radiator cores for hospitals, semis industrial equipment and farmers.
Thank you Christopher Hoffman!
Thank you.
Truck driver here! And damn proud of it!
Am a hard factory worker in Sweden 🇸🇪 to.My wife work on a hospital...Thank's for this song,and thank you all other workers around the world 🌎
Yep. These are the real heros of the country
Alabama... LEGENDARY MUSIC..this needs to be bought back into mainstream music... this will wake the "woke" people up. this music is powerful. it's hidden for a reason.
❤ thanks
Dude I'm surprised to see you here! I'm glad you have an awesome taste in music.
We need more songs like this on the radio.
Amen ,Stephen,not this new craps they have
Amen to that
Definitely do!!
@@shawnsnowdeal1561 in fact any radio playing any kind music (iucuding that trash music that kids and teens love) sound play this everyday.
It would be called racist.
Love this song! I get up at 4:15 am to start my day. At 50 years old I still do heavy manual labor and will continue to do so.
God bless you. ❤ I hope you have a wife that appreciates you. 🙏🏻
My husband is 53, and does the same!! Thank you!
@@stephaniesurmanfalls6532 Sounds like you have a good husband and I'm sure he appreciates you as his wife. Our generation is one of hard honest work. I'm so thankful of my parents who taught me good values.
@@USNBLUE Thank you and God bless! 🙏
You have to love all those forcing an ideology on others, themselves can't even prove .
Nothing is more selfish.
I’m a 4th generation wheat farmer in western Kansas and this song seems like the only thank you I ever get for my job
Thank you from Kentucky! Wheat won't grow well here, so, thanks again!
A big Thank You from Pennsylvania ❤️
Thank you from Texas rancher
Thank you from South Carolina!!
Thank you from California
Back when we had strong unions and a respect for all workers, service included. Also back when a 40 hour week was enough to make a proper living for your family.
Hi how are you doing
@@franceliakarle_1 Not well
@@Darkstar1484 good morning
I haven't worked over 40 hrs a week for over 12 years. I will not work longer than 40 hours. If the company doesn't like it ... BYE.
With the knowledge I know. You pay me for my knowledge not my physical labor.
I work in a Call Center for a chain of truck stops. I talk to truckers every day...you guys are our unsung heroes. Thank you for all you do
Yall are the ones who truely make america run. I solute you mr. 18 on a 2 week stretch real men of genious. I had to. Yall are the best at what you do. Keep it rolling and america is behind you.
no worries, we are the ones who realized factory work is a dead end these days.

Still one of the best songs ever played, written, and sang. Thank you to all. “ a spirit you can’t replace with no machine.”Thank you America!
The older I get the more I appreciate this song.

I agree! Your music is so important!
"Keep this country turning around"
Agree.
I appreciate all the people that keep our great country from emergency workers nurses doctors to truck drivers day inn and day out God bless you all 🇺🇸
As a waitress and single mom I want to thank alabama for being the only musician (that I know of) to celebrate and realize how hard we work and how many hours we work a week just to bring home the money to provide

Makes me think of me and my hubby 💕 I was a waitress , him a mechanic. He used to pick me up after work in his pick up.
Thank you Alabama 😊
Amen.

After 35 yrs. I’m still hauling it up an down the road.......we’re a dying breed.....
Yup, us truckers and farmers work closer to 120 hours a week, just to keep it goin, but we do appreciate this, whoever, except the Hag, ever even admitted we existed? The strength of Alabama has always been your ties to us "invisible" folks. We love you for that. God does, too!!!!!!
I am a CNA. a first responder. and this song means a lot to me, not many songs out there for us hard-working people.
Thank you 😊

Born in 67. Graduated highschool in 85. So much nostalgia in this song i almost want to cry. How did we, the USA, get here in 23?
I'm a farmer farmer from eastern Kansas & usually have 40 hours in by Wednesday evening . But I'm not complaining I love what I do .

Because nobody cares anymore. We need a blue collar boy, instead of ANY of these white collar assholes we have to choose between.
The 1K people aren't understanding or appreciative of this song. Probably thinking that those type of jobs are beneath them. My mom worked with elderly people for years. Thank you to EVERYONE who has a job that is essential right now, and is has to go to work during this horrible virus.
Thank you...I also a hardworker you got to be now days.
My grandfather worked for 25 years underground here in the coal fields of WV. If it wasn't for him risking his life to get paid, my family wouldn't have made it. I love this song so much.
therealdeal 0724 nice, form WV my self
Bless your grandpa, same for me, if it wasnt for him, i will be uneducated.
I like this song too. And I'm glad you do. Mine worked a sugar cane factory to put his girls in private school in the states.
therealdeal 0724. From I’m from West Virginia too.
Shout out from a fellow mountaineer. My family is well represented in this song as well. My uncle was a metallurgist in a steel mill until it closed in the early 80s. My dad was a carpenter by trade, my mother worked retail electronics for years, and I was working as a small engine mechanic when I got out of high school, and this song came out. Now, I'm driving a big rig up and down the Pennsylvania turnpike.
Thank you to EVERYONE who works 40 hours or more a week for a livin'. You are NOT forgotten about by me! GOD BLESS YOU and AMERICA!

Same here !
I’m a second generation locomotive engineer for CSX and I send it on down the line. It gives me pride when I know I’m making a difference by helping to keep America moving. I always wanted to be a part of something that was bigger than me and to contribute.

So many of my childhood memories are seeing my dad put his keys in his pocket like that, drink some coffee and pat the dog and out to the truck.❤
Living through this Corona mess has a lot of people gaining a newfound respect for people who work retail, industry, drivers, 1st responders, etc. They are truly what keeps this country moving forward. This is one of my favorite songs from Alabama. It certainly has a place in 2020.

Hell I'm a Union Carpenter and I work without fail no days off no extra hazard pay and I do it working my ass off
I worry our servicemen/women are being forgotten. We are at War and American media seems to have forgotten that. I respect all working men/women but I respect those guys sacrificing most over the years. It's not a competition. Just wish we hadn't forgotten our Military.
We all need to do our part, wear masks and stop the spreading! God be with you all!
Oh, I so agree, without them we wouldn't be able to make it! God be with ya!
This world needs more respect like Alabama did. Back when America didn’t hate itself. Long live American pride.

I’m a senior in high school and I put in 50 hours a week helping a farmer along with keeping the 6 semis going they have Many people in my class don’t even have a job this song just proves my point of life to them
They'll never know the rewards you feel from doing hard work. You have much to be proud of, Colton. If I were your parent I'd be bursting with pride knowing I'd raised a real MAN.
Hi how are you doing today?
Hopefully life has treated you well so far Colton.
Hello, how are you doing today?
Keep at it! You will be a great one in your family and community. Not sure what you plan to do, but you will succeed!
People have forgotten how this world works
Yes they did n tried to kill women for it
Badly
I agree they cheat lie n kill for money they made off a woman who would never do it to them so many years
As a man with a wife that’s disabled it’s not just the woman that are taking advantage of
Eric is Boone I'm related o.g you fn perverts
Love how they pay tribute to mothers and parents at 1:18 "for everyone who works behind the scenes..." This is for my dear friend Angie, who is a mother. She is wonderful!
You too is mine on WBBM FM on your radio dial is open in Alabama coming at you on music radio

I'm an Indiana factory worker (that services the agricultural industry) and also drive a big rig. Thank you to everyone mentioned in this song and the ones not mentioned. You make my life and my family's lives better and we appreciate you all. Keep grinding America.
"The one drives the big rig"
Thank you for your time!
Thank you 🙏
This should be the Official theme song of Labor Day.
North Dakota oil field worker here. Thank you Alabama!
Dedicate this song to my brother Charlie who spent over a decade delivering goods in a big rig rolling all throughout the lower 48 states whether snow, ice, rain, or shine. Thank you brother.
Daddy was a lineman in the 70's-80's b4 bucket trucks were used to get to poles, Daddy climbed with spurs, a belt and hands. Worked HARD , trouble call, storm break, all over US a single father of a boy and girl. Daddy's been gone 4 years and he raised me and my brother up right southern to the bone.
Man...I watch these classic Alabama videos & then I realize time really does go by fast!!!
I'm a 50 yr old truck driver...been driving long haul for close to 30 yrs now...Alabama has been up & down the interstates more times than they'll ever really know.
Much love from Mobile Alabama.
I passed through Mobile once and it looked like a good city. Thank you for driving a big rig. Roll on.
Back when America was American and freedom
Not for everybody it wasn't.
when u change a country u should keep the good stuff and eliminate whats bad the upside happend.....
It still is, you just got to talk to your neighbor in the right times. That's the media telling us that it isn't America. That's the media telling us that we don't have freedom. That's the media telling us that we don't have equality. It's everybody is being told by someone else that they don't have this. People need to open their eyes and see for themselves that we do have these freedoms. It's all about how you conduct yourself and the standards that you hold.
Back when men where men and women were women
Yes America was America it always has been. But Freedom is not uniquely America we have to work to maintain the concept. For everyone.
Growing up in the 80s in WV, this was an anthem lol never was a country fan but it was always cool to hear a shout out to my forgotten state, so I'll always appreciate that and thus this gets a pass for the gratitude to the labor workers of the US: THE backbone
I truly miss living in West Virginia. I used to live in Wheeling, but we were forced out and moved to Detroit. I plan to move back after graduating high school
I am from Waterloo, N Y - north central area - my precious husband & I Love your state & your people - WEST VIRGINIA.
I lost my awesome husband to covid 19 on 12-31-20. I took over his phone to feel closer to him, so my name is Yvonne.
@@kevintuttle6837 sorry to hear that Yvonne, I’m sure he was a great man
I lived in Logan and Ripley
This song always brings a tear to my eye at the "with a spirit you can't replace with no machine....hello, America" part. I'm a vet tech; I guess they couldn't mention every job, lol. But I worked in several factories in the past. I work a 50-hour week, and I know a lot of veterinarians and techs are working more than that with the shortage in our field right now. Thank you, everyone who keeps this country going!
Also, holy unibrow, Randy!
I wish we still MADE stuff like we once did back when this video came out.
There is a good feeling you get when you know you have put in a hard day's work and really earned your pay.
And earned that sweet $$$ for your owner too.
Hi how are you doing today
proud plumber here!!
I work 40+ hours as a tire technician and people forget or don't realize without us the world doesn't roll. Thank you Alabama.
So often, the hardest working & most needed workers are never recognized. I know many appreciate you but never mention it. Thank you for the service you provide.
I assure ya, me and my rig more than realize the role you play. Without you and yours, we'd not get too far, ourselves.
Hi how are you doing today?
Very true my friend. Was going to say, they never mention us Tire Techs...
@@bryanjohnson8473 good morning ☀️
This song was written back during a time when hard work meant something, when someone with a dream, a vision and a little determination could make something of and for themselves. When "You DID build that." and could "build that", when this once great nation wasn't ruled by tyrants, thugs and thieves seeking strip us of our rights and our wealth, when the content of a person's character and their merit was important and their word was their bond, it was who they were. When integrity was central. This song was written back during a time when America was great and her people made her great.
trumps going to bring this back pray for him
Richard Rose yea going back to the 80s. Hes also gonna bring back VHS and Walkmans
Roberto Ramirez Hell, more like back to the '30s....
Roberto Ramirez ahh i so miss fanny packs
Exactly right. Also back when hard work paid a living wage. Incentives to work hard include making enough to feed one's family and pay their bills.
This song has a even stronger meaning during this battle with the coronavirus outbreak in 2020.
God bless America. Let's pray we all get through this safely.
This country has changed so much from then. What’s next for this great country?
I was watching this and thinking what the hell happened to this country? People used to work 40hrs a week and retire at 60 no problem. Globalization has KILLED THE AMERICAN DREAM AND WAY OF LIFE.
The true backbone of this country
yes it does! thank you for your time.
I cry when I hear this song because I don't think enough people respect the people that don't have a million dollar a year job and everyone should be thought of no matter what their job is it means a lot 🙂
Hi Kimberly,hope you’re okay ?
Yep,. The home maker too he mentioned them. Great song great group

i work 70+ hours a week as a laborer and i couldn't be happier because what i'm doing is the backbone of this great nation
I salute you
You're the real Captain America, Sir
Pretty much I am retired but I did work and I thank you sir. I am old now but pretty damn sure I leave this country in the hands of heroes.
Let me thank you for your time
I’m a volunteer firefighter I don’t get paid for this but I love to run out to help someone else who needs help the most and on top of that I work for the town it awesome
Volunteers should get some kind of pay!
I use to volunteer at my hometown fire department when I was in high school and many years afterwards gave it up when I was hired on the railroad didn't have time for it anymore but enjoyed doing it as a service to my community
I am as well and it's such a blessing to be able to help your neighbors when the chips are down!
@George Washington sorry George I farm and feed cattle for a living and drop what I'm doing and go....200 plus times a year
I'm applying to be a volunteer firefighter because I just love to do it
Perfect song for the Canadian Truckers Convoy this week! We support all workers like we were before retirment!
How many people do you think got the Smokey and the Bandit car out there? Maybe the Kenworth too?
I swing a hammer 50+ hours a week for a living, and year after year I send it on down the line with a smile and a very deep sense of pride for my work and my country..........thank you boys

This song should be the blue collar working mans anthem. Maybe they should redo it and call it 60 hr week for a living. Love this song
Steve Lopez you must be a trucker,them a lot hours
+geri charles I've worked 60 hrs for the last few years just to keep my job kentucky coalminers gamble I guess but it's what I like doing and it's all I know
+geri charles Today, you almost have to work 50-60 hours to survive. I work 12 hour nights, 5 nights a week, sometimes 6. I couldn't afford gas to get back and forth to work on 40 hours.
I been working AM in docks for trucking company now got a 2nd shift glass manufacturing job. Gonna get back to my 50-60 hour weeks again. Which means I can live again.
80 plus work weeks no days off away from home cleaning storm debris
The anthem of essential workers right now.
Amen
You damn right
All workers are essential that's the point of the whole song
Proud to be

LET ME THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
Thank you trucker, that$ my dream job!
I've always been a fan of the group Alabama and I've loved this song since I was a kid because it's a salute to the many Americans who bust their asses and make many sacrifices every day to pull their weight, provide for themselves and their loved ones, and do their part in keeping this country moving forward. Now that I'm all grown up and bust my ass and make sacrifices every day to make a living and provide for myself and my loved ones, this song is even more special to me.
Hi Chris how are you doing
I miss the america. This is a rare gem now. Never complain about a farmer with your mouth full or your basic needs period
So my son came home from school today and told me that he learned a new song at school and wanted to sing it to me. He is 5 so I expected Mary had a little lamb, but he broke out with this great song! Every word! Man I am a proud poppa right now!

You realize that without farmers and truck drivers, none of the above would be possible?
@@rdred8693 Yes. Thank you as well
This is when America was strong every major city and small town was booming with factories, textile mills, lumber and pulpwood yards and such.
So now we have to reinvent ourselves because most of these industrial jobs were lost to automation.
@@richardalderman2752 in some what you’re right but most manufacturing jobs and textile mill jobs were lost due to plants closing down in America and going overseas for cheap labor. It’s ashamed when you have American made products like John Deere an American icon in tractors and lawn mowers made in America but the engines were made in Japan.
Aug 3, 1985 - Alabama works its way to #1 on the Billboard country chart with "Forty Hour Week (For A Livin')"
Babybluebbw I am a HUGE fan of Alabama's music I have nearly all their cassettes
I had the Roll On album in 1984
That's good Mark out of his royalties
@@doughesson me too!!
This song needs played more often I think
I usually don't put up comments. This song amplifies the greatness of America. People working together to accomplish the same goal. Doesn't matter if your the waitress or mechanic. If we all have a role and participate in helping one another out our contributions are seen and admired by one another. We don't have to be perfect we do our best just by trying. I'm not a huge country music fan, but I love this song because it personifies what America is. Written 30ish years ago and I for one still hopes it holds true today. It gives me hope.
I agree with the message this song sends, but unfortunately, its no longer about working hard. Its about how minimum wage unskilled workers demanding more pay than the people portrayed in this song.
Hi how are you doing
I love this song I work 40 hours a week at walmart as a stocker and sometimes a cashier and I enjoy speaking with my customers and hearing about their day.
Then let me be the first on here to say to you: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
Thank you Heidi, sorry it’s two years late
Thank you for your hard work
Thank you for your time
Dad was a soldier, put in more hours than paid, but for God and country
If your dad is alive then i thank him for his service.
I thank your father for his service. I too am in the service as an airman. Always do your work unto the Lord. Then, nothing is wasted. God recognizes every effort, even when human employers may not even take notice.

Amen !
Word up!!!
This group has done so many songs about real life.

Hello 🌹
60 hr/ week ironworker & Ex Marine. I just wish America would be the way it used to be, where everone worked hard and didnt use the system.
I feel the same way
Thank you, Mr Ironworker, for all your hard work.
Served as a Marine (Semper Fi!) I went to the local Social Security Office, more than half the room was "Full" People under the age of 25 ALL filing for disability, go figure. I also filed (battling Cancer in throat).
Mike Jones thats because the system lets them u wont find me there till i need it
Mike Jones God bless you! America thanks you!
How can anybody dislike this song? I don't understand..
Probably those sitting on their asses while collecting welfare or other government funds.
+Darsey parsons lmao, alright.
+Darsey parsons Never did I state that ALL people collecting government funding do nothing all day. I stated that those who DO sit around all day while collecting government funding are the ones who would dislike this. Get a clue as to what people are saying before acting like a complete idiot.
Darsey parsons I assume your on welfare? Or know someone close who's on it?
The people downvoting this song think Florida Georgia Line is country.
This is probably one of the only bands and songs that says something about all these dangerous jobs but still has a happy ending, and im happy to say, me and my brother in this messed up, strange generation, are still listening to this!
RIP Jeff Cook, let us thank you for your time and great music you and your cousins and Mark Herndon put on for us the past 6 decades
Rip 😢😢
I remember them singing this on the Tonight Show. Johnnie's reaction was priceless. Late nite tv will never be the same.
This world has gone crazy but one thing that keeps a smile on my face and in my heart is Alabama's Music. The generation now will never know great country music.

@@buffyjosmom I hate the way people mock working classes.
Blows my mind to call people rude names for where they grew up.
We're all Americans, the greatest country ever.
18 wheeler here. I want to thank you for your time so I can send it on down the line!
Ty for your time
Be safe :).
I remember when this song first came out. Some farmers kicked up a fuss because they wanted it known that their work week was a heck of a lot more than 40 hours. I understood that concept having been raised on big ranches where the Duke's words, "We're burnin' daylight," was true 7 days a week.
But personally, I just appreciated the song for its tribute to American blue collar workers. I miss those days when we, as a nation, took pride in our own work and understood that it took all of us to create a strong, economically stable country. I absolutely hate the destruction laying waste to our people happening now.
I still love Alabama though! Thank you for your time.
3rd generation proud union carpenter. Best song ever! Alabama is amazing🤗
Texas mechanic, 40 plus hours a week, keepin them runnin since 2009 and sending them down the line
Right now we are seeing how much we need all these workers.
