C&W group Alabama released “40 Hour Week for a Living” in 1985. This amazingly prescient tune could very well be the anthem thanking millions of Americans for their essential services 35 years later. Here’s how it starts:
“There are people in this country
Who work hard every day
Not for fame or for fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor
Are worth more than their pay…”
Yes, indeedy.
Enjoy this tribute to the wage-earning American man and woman.
