He grew up in a timeWhen a third-grade educationWas all the school you neededTo work the family farmHe'd take time off on SundayHim and all his family, warm a pewAnd give thanks to the LordThere was no gray, only black and whiteDidn't need no-one to tell himWhat was wrong or right'Cause he had God, family and countryHe set aside his plow, in early 1940Said goodbye to his small townAnd put on the army greenHard times on the front linesWritin' letters on wet paperNot one word aboutThe awful things he'd seenHis was a generation,That answered without questionThey knew they had to win'Cause they were fightin' forGod, family and countryOn the coffee tableSits the family BibleWhere just last year he addedA little boy to the family treeThere's the folded flag they gave usOn the day he left usBut the thing that I remember mostIs the way that he, believedIn God, Family and CountryOhh, we've got God, family and country
