God, Family and Country

He grew up in a time
When a third-grade education
Was all the school you needed
To work the family farm
Hed take time off on
SundayHim and all his family, warm a pew
And give thanks to the
LordThere was no gray, only black and white
Didnt need no-one to tell him
What was wrong or right
Cause he had
God, family and country
He set aside his plow, in early 1940
Said goodbye to his small town
And put on the army green
Hard times on the front lines
Writin letters on wet paper
Not one word about
The awful things hed seen
His was a generation,
That answered without question
They knew they had to win
Cause they were fightin for
God, family and country
On the coffee table
Sits the family
BibleWhere just last year he added
A little boy to the family tree
Theres the folded flag they gave us
On the day he left us
But the thing that
I remember most
Is the way that he, believed
In God, Family and
CountryOhh, weve got
God , family and country
