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