John Rich The Good Lord & The Man lyrics

Well, he was one of the millions<br />
Who signed up to defend us long ago in 1941<br />
When they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor<br />
He fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun<br />
<br />
Well, he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches<br />
He saw things young man should never see<br />
And when they shot him in the shoulder<br />
He got back up and he marched over<br />
Left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie<br />
<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land<br />
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam<br />
I hope they always remember why they can<br />
<br />
'Cause we'd all be speakin' German<br />
Livin' under the flag of Japan<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
<br />
Well, I'm the grandson of a soldier<br />
And I'd fight the whole world over<br />
If duty called and freedom's on the line<br />
But thanks to the greatest generation<br />

And the ones still fighting for our nation<br />
I've never had to kill for my way of life<br />
<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land<br />
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam<br />
I hope they always remember why they can<br />
<br />
'Cause we'd all be speakin' German<br />
Livin' under flag of Japan<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
There wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land<br />
And I see people on my TV taking shots at uncle Sam<br />
I hope they always remember why they can<br />
<br />
'Cause we'd all be speakin' German<br />
Livin' under flag of Japan<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man<br />
If it wasn't for the good Lord and the man
