John Rich - The Good Lord and the Man

Lyrics to The Good Lord and the Man by John Rich

Well he was one of the millions who signed up to defend us long ago in 1941 when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor he fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun Well he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches he saw things young man should never see and when they shot him in the shoulder he got back up and he marched over left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie If it wasn’t for the good lord and the man there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam I hope they always remember why they can cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man Well I’m the grandson of a soldier and I’d fight the whole world over if duty called and freedoms on the line but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation I’ve never had to kill for my way of life If it wasn’t for the good lord and the man there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam I hope they always remember why they can cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under flag of Japan if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam I hope they always remember why they can cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under flag of Japan if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
