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