  • If you got up this morning then you went to work today,
    This song's for you
    And if you put eight honest hours in,
    For eight hours worth of pay, this song's for you

    If it's taking all you got these days just to make ends meet,
    You'd like to give a piece of your mind
    To those fat cats on Wall Street, this song's for you

    If you go to church on Sunday
    And you try to do what's right, this song's for you

    If you've been known to drink a beer,
    And raise hell on a Friday night, this song's for you

    If you wish we didn't have to go,
    And send our boys to war,
    But you still think this country of ours is sure worth dying for

    This song's for you, you know who you are
    We're up on this stage, but you're the star
    You're why we, do what we do
    We want you to know, this song's for you

    Now if you love country music,
    As real as it comes, this song's for you
    And if you came here tonight,
    Hoping you might hear you some, this song's for you

    If you paid your hard earned money to that bouncer at the door,
    To hear the kind of songs that you don't get to hear much anymore

    This song's for you, you know who you are
    We're up on this stage, but you're the star
    You're why we, do what we do
    We want you to know, this song's for you

    You might've lost a friend, a job,
    Or someone broke your heart
    But just like you might need it to,
    The healings in the tune

    This song's for you, you know who you are
    We're up on this stage, but you're the star
    You're why we, do what we do
    We want you to know, this song's for you

    You deserve so much more it's true,
    We want you to know, this song's for you Writer/s: BRYAN ADAMS, GRETCHEN PETERS
