Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Out on the highway, just past the county line,
Lucy's drivin' big rigs, beatin' sundown time.
She's got a heart made of steel, hands tough as the road,
But her paycheck's tellin' stories that just don't hold.
(Chorus)
So why don't we pay women the same?
If the work's done right, why play this game?
It's a hard, hard world, we're all in the fight,
Pay women the same, it's only right.
(Verse 2)
Down at the sawmill, where the big blades scream,
Sue's stacking lumber, living her father's dream.
She runs the floor like a boss, she knows every inch of the place,
Yet she's countin' pennies while Joe's at a different pace.
(Chorus)
So why don't we pay women the same?
If the work's done right, why play this game?
It's a hard, hard world, we're all in the fight,
Pay women the same, it's only right.
(Bridge)
In the heat of the forge, or the chill of the mine,
The women work hard, they don't fall behind.
It's time we end this old tired song,
Justice delayed is justice wrong.
(Verse 3)
At the diner at midnight, under neon lights,
Maggie's pouring coffee, working through the nights.
Tips are good, but they don’t cover life’s heavy cost,
Why’s her wage so much lower than her no good boss
(Chorus)
So why don't we pay women the same?
If the work's done right, why play this game?
It's a hard, hard world, we're all in the fight,
Pay women the same, it's only right.
