Workers got together and they bought that mill

They're making steel in Pittsburgh still

The family farm down in Indiana

The bank's foreclosin' just because they can

The farmer can't do nothin' 'bout another drought

  Em          C         G          D 
The wheels in Detroit keep on turnin' 
  Em          C          G            D 
A blue collar lesson there for the learnin' 
   Em                    C            G         D 
The throttle drives you anywhere no matter how far

Just never give up on who you are 
 
(CHORUS) 
 (LEAD)

Right down the middle of America 
 Em           C          G         D 
Where her heart beats strong and true 
 Em          C      G       D 
Look up and just open your eyes 
     C                         D        
The flag still waves and the eagle still flies. 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
 Em     C          G       D  
These are the days 
 Em     C          G       D 
These are the days of America 
 Em     C          G       D 
These are the days

These are the days of America
