Alabama - Forty Hour Week (For A Livin') (Official Video) 

Bring y’all town ova wid next song

Fact!

Amen!

naw, man social justice and equity checks

Who made you Mr. Important telling others to work harder for greedy people? You probably are just a desk jockey who believes absurd Stone Age ghost stories about talking snakes, golem spell dirt men, enchanted fruit, talking shrubbery, food falling from the sky, a female salt shaker, talking donkeys, Noah's magic zoo boat, ghost sex, alien landings, zombies, magic hair, magical goblins, giants (Bigfoot), magically multiplying food, magic blood, an invisible magic kingdom, the heebie-jeebies, 900 year old humans, and a man who lived in a fish. Fools believe that nonsense. Why do you enjoy being fooled?

Hi how are you doing today?

Yeah absolutely. Govt needs to stop selling out working class.

@@korykeller4611 What does that even mean?

I work as a solder, we solder radiator cores for hospitals, semis industrial equipment and farmers.

Thank you Christopher Hoffman!

@@shawnsnowdeal1561 in fact any radio playing any kind music (iucuding that trash music that kids and teens love) sound play this everyday.

It would be called racist.

+Eric Dusci Thank you for your hard work. God bless.

God bless you sir!

Thank you, Mr. Farmer, for putting food on my table - and it don't have to come from China or Japan.

Tueday is when I see forty.Try harder.

Politicians are the enemy of our country.

They come to Congress middle class and come out millionaires. It's very mysterious...

@@bluecollarlit It is because of Coppurtion

What about the politicians who come from the working class, like AOC? The hatred of politicians is childish, myopic, and unproductive. You vote for your politicians, so in part WE are all responsible for what we get. YOU probably don't pay much attention to politics and respond to attack ads that fearmonger and easily debunkable lies. You probably respond to the manufactured culture war, and think the other party is EVIL. Politicians adapt to the electorate. The other factor is money. It's not fucking "mysterious" why only rich people become politicians. It's because, partly, the voters are so easily manipulated, misinformed, and tribalist, that whoever has the most money to put inflammatory shit in front of as many people drives turnout. On top of that, simply having the free time to educate yourself and money to hire your first campaign workers can be a massive risk if not impossible. So first, blame the electorate. Second, blame the election finance system. Third, blame the first-past-the-post election system that discourages third parties.

Hi how are you doing today?

Thank you from Kentucky! Wheat won't grow well here, so, thanks again!

A big Thank You from Pennsylvania ❤️

Thank you from Texas rancher

Thank you from South Carolina!!

Alabama... LEGENDARY MUSIC..this needs to be bought back into mainstream music... this will wake the "woke" people up. this music is powerful. it's hidden for a reason.

❤ thanks

Dude I'm surprised to see you here! I'm glad you have an awesome taste in music.

God bless you. ❤ I hope you have a wife that appreciates you. 🙏🏻

My husband is 53, and does the same!! Thank you!

@@stephaniesurmanfalls6532 Sounds like you have a good husband and I'm sure he appreciates you as his wife. Our generation is one of hard honest work. I'm so thankful of my parents who taught me good values.

@@USNBLUE Thank you and God bless! 🙏

You have to love all those forcing an ideology on others, themselves can't even prove . Nothing is more selfish.

Hi how are you doing

@@franceliakarle_1 Not well

Shout out from a fellow mountaineer. My family is well represented in this song as well. My uncle was a metallurgist in a steel mill until it closed in the early 80s. My dad was a carpenter by trade, my mother worked retail electronics for years, and I was working as a small engine mechanic when I got out of high school, and this song came out. Now, I'm driving a big rig up and down the Pennsylvania turnpike.

Im a underground coalminer in Virginia god bless everyone

Hell I'm a Union Carpenter and I work without fail no days off no extra hazard pay and I do it working my ass off

I worry our servicemen/women are being forgotten. We are at War and American media seems to have forgotten that. I respect all working men/women but I respect those guys sacrificing most over the years. It's not a competition. Just wish we hadn't forgotten our Military.

We all need to do our part, wear masks and stop the spreading! God be with you all!

Oh, I so agree, without them we wouldn't be able to make it! God be with ya!

I truly miss living in West Virginia. I used to live in Wheeling, but we were forced out and moved to Detroit. I plan to move back after graduating high school

jcuevas119 When I was younger, they put this on in music class. Somehow I'm the only one who listened to them before.

@@doordieace5high I wish they did that for me!

@jcuevas119 how's the little man doing?

... days later, he had signed a record deal, and his first album went triple-platinum in 2 months. That son's name? Barack Obama.

Does he still like it?

They'll never know the rewards you feel from doing hard work. You have much to be proud of, Colton. If I were your parent I'd be bursting with pride knowing I'd raised a real MAN.

Hi how are you doing today?

Hopefully life has treated you well so far Colton.

Hello, how are you doing today?

Keep at it! You will be a great one in your family and community. Not sure what you plan to do, but you will succeed!

"The one drives the big rig"

Thank you for your time!

Thank you 🙏

trumps going to bring this back pray for him

Richard Rose yea going back to the 80s. Hes also gonna bring back VHS and Walkmans

Roberto Ramirez Hell, more like back to the '30s....

Roberto Ramirez ahh i so miss fanny packs

Exactly right. Also back when hard work paid a living wage. Incentives to work hard include making enough to feed one's family and pay their bills.

God bless America. Let's pray we all get through this safely.

This country has changed so much from then. What’s next for this great country?

I was watching this and thinking what the hell happened to this country? People used to work 40hrs a week and retire at 60 no problem. Globalization has KILLED THE AMERICAN DREAM AND WAY OF LIFE.

The true backbone of this country

yes it does! thank you for your time.

Paging President Trump… 🚂 🇺🇸

Copyright issues

Because nobody cares anymore. We need a blue collar boy, instead of ANY of these white collar assholes we have to choose between.

Absolutely! Mainly Because The Uniparty doesn't care about the Rank and File Citizenry! ❤❤❤

they have to get permission from the band ALABAMA ..the song is copyright.❤

Not for everybody it wasn't.

when u change a country u should keep the good stuff and eliminate whats bad the upside happend.....

It still is, you just got to talk to your neighbor in the right times. That's the media telling us that it isn't America. That's the media telling us that we don't have freedom. That's the media telling us that we don't have equality. It's everybody is being told by someone else that they don't have this. People need to open their eyes and see for themselves that we do have these freedoms. It's all about how you conduct yourself and the standards that you hold.

Back when men where men and women were women

Yes America was America it always has been. But Freedom is not uniquely America we have to work to maintain the concept. For everyone.

Thank you so much for your labor, I speak for myself and the rest of my state of North Carolina when I say thank you for all you do, it means a lot to us.

Same here !

Thank you! God bless you richly

Thank you...I also a hardworker you got to be now days.

Babybluebbw I am a HUGE fan of Alabama's music I have nearly all their cassettes

I had the Roll On album in 1984

That's good Mark out of his royalties

@@doughesson me too!!

Yes they did n tried to kill women for it

Badly

I agree they cheat lie n kill for money they made off a woman who would never do it to them so many years

As a man with a wife that’s disabled it’s not just the woman that are taking advantage of

Eric is Boone I'm related o.g you fn perverts

Amen

You damn right

All workers are essential that's the point of the whole song

Proud to be

@@michaelgolliher730 Exactly my friend

Hi how are you doing today

Hi Chris how are you doing

Hi how are you doing today

I feel the same way

Thank you, Mr Ironworker, for all your hard work.

Served as a Marine (Semper Fi!) I went to the local Social Security Office, more than half the room was "Full" People under the age of 25 ALL filing for disability, go figure. I also filed (battling Cancer in throat).

Mike Jones thats because the system lets them u wont find me there till i need it

Mike Jones God bless you! America thanks you!

If your dad is alive then i thank him for his service.

I thank your father for his service. I too am in the service as an airman. Always do your work unto the Lord. Then, nothing is wasted. God recognizes every effort, even when human employers may not even take notice.

Corey twitter

Amen !

Word up!!!

Steve Lopez you must be a trucker,them a lot hours

+geri charles I've worked 60 hrs for the last few years just to keep my job kentucky coalminers gamble I guess but it's what I like doing and it's all I know

+geri charles Today, you almost have to work 50-60 hours to survive. I work 12 hour nights, 5 nights a week, sometimes 6. I couldn't afford gas to get back and forth to work on 40 hours.

I been working AM in docks for trucking company now got a 2nd shift glass manufacturing job. Gonna get back to my 50-60 hour weeks again. Which means I can live again.

80 plus work weeks no days off away from home cleaning storm debris

So often, the hardest working & most needed workers are never recognized. I know many appreciate you but never mention it. Thank you for the service you provide.

I assure ya, me and my rig more than realize the role you play. Without you and yours, we'd not get too far, ourselves.

Hi how are you doing today?

Very true my friend. Was going to say, they never mention us Tire Techs...

@@bryanjohnson8473 good morning ☀️

Volunteers should get some kind of pay!

I use to volunteer at my hometown fire department when I was in high school and many years afterwards gave it up when I was hired on the railroad didn't have time for it anymore but enjoyed doing it as a service to my community

I am as well and it's such a blessing to be able to help your neighbors when the chips are down!

@George Washington sorry George I farm and feed cattle for a living and drop what I'm doing and go....200 plus times a year

I'm applying to be a volunteer firefighter because I just love to do it

And earned that sweet $$$ for your owner too.

Hi how are you doing today

Don’t forget the plumbers an hvac guys an girls!

Yes my wife is one she's a nurse at a nursing home

@@davidmcknight5550 Yes...... You too. Thank you

You forgot farmers! You realize that without farmers and truck drivers, none of the above would be possible?

@@rdred8693 Yes. Thank you as well

How many people do you think got the Smokey and the Bandit car out there? Maybe the Kenworth too?

I salute you

You're the real Captain America, Sir

Pretty much I am retired but I did work and I thank you sir. I am old now but pretty damn sure I leave this country in the hands of heroes.

Let me thank you for your time

Rip 😢😢

When this song was written people could live good on a 40 hour week. Thanks to trickle down economics and greed, it takes a man AND woman working overtime just to survive. Life use to be good.

If you're Hispanic you more than likely put in the most hours in this country based on demographics. Someone has to feed and build this country

@@timmassey7581 yep

30% of illegal immigrant workers work on farmers. But they work there awhile and move on to higher paying jobs. Georgia the state has hundreds or thousands of farms and even after everfiy they're still in business.

90 hour week. Here

They still at crime back then too it’s not like that decade was crime free and everything was better it’s your mindset not decades

Back when people viewed work as a privilege and not a right. When people were free to sell their labor and not staunchly restricted by government and governing unions.

The United States Of America It might have been sarcastic.

@@marzdizzle8093 We always wanted to be the best we could be, worked hard! I am proud of what I accomplished!

@@marzdizzle8093 Really?

Hi Heather,hope you’re doing okay ?

Sobbing too. Reminds me of my Dad. It was one of his favorites. He was a hard worker. Just a great song.

@@wendyvolk1526 Oh I see:where are you from?

@@goodliving1972 Pennsylvania. My Dad did Heating and AC repair. He had his own business. He was never home, especially on Holidays. His heart would never let anyone go without especially in winter time.

Hi Kimberly,hope you’re okay ?

Yep,. The home maker too he mentioned them. Great song great group

+Ohiodeerhunter Be safe out there, watch those bears, and put that hammer down LOL.

LET ME THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Thank you trucker, that$ my dream job!

Hello 🥰

So now we have to reinvent ourselves because most of these industrial jobs were lost to automation.

@@richardalderman2752 in some what you’re right but most manufacturing jobs and textile mill jobs were lost due to plants closing down in America and going overseas for cheap labor. It’s ashamed when you have American made products like John Deere an American icon in tractors and lawn mowers made in America but the engines were made in Japan.

Probably those sitting on their asses while collecting welfare or other government funds.

+Darsey parsons lmao, alright.

+Darsey parsons Never did I state that ALL people collecting government funding do nothing all day. I stated that those who DO sit around all day while collecting government funding are the ones who would dislike this. Get a clue as to what people are saying before acting like a complete idiot.

Darsey parsons I assume your on welfare? Or know someone close who's on it?

The people downvoting this song think Florida Georgia Line is country.

Hi how are you doing

Hello 🌹
