The Good Lord And The Man Lyrics - Son Of A Preacher Man - 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 TV 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 freedom's 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 TV 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 TV 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
