The Ones Who Make Things Run

T. Joiner
It's not the man that makes words rhyme,or has a part in a play,It's never a sports superstar or actor who saves the day.
It's the average American worker who gets the hard jobs done,

If we should honor anyone,it's the ones who make things run.

It's not the face of some rich girl that we see on TV,

It's not the foreign royalty that means a thing to me.

It's the average American worker who gets the hard jobs done,

If we should honor anyone,it's the ones who make things run.

It's the ones who keep my lights on,and the ones who grow my food,

It's the ones who make the stuff I use that makes my life so good.

It's the average American worker who gets the hard jobs done,

If we should honor anyone,it's the ones who make things run.

If they are going to have a TV show and give out nice awards,

There should be a category for cleaning houses and cutting yards.

It's the average American worker who gets the hard jobs done,

If we should honor anyone,it's the ones who make things run.
