LYRICS

My grandpa signed the line in ’43
Said uncle needs a few good men like me
All filled with innocence he left his home
Too late to change his mind
On up through 1945
He saw too many good men die
Those sounds would echo in his head
And come to haunt him every night
So, with a rifle and a bottle by his side

He served God and country first
He knew others had it worse
When he’d need a little help to pull him through
He’d say a prayer down on his knees
That he was built for times like these
War is hell and there ain’t much a man can do
Except know there’s power in the blood
But, there’s silence in the brandy

I’ve heard him say what’s done is done
Too much was lost to say we won
Turns out the devil had his whip hand
On the trigger of my gun
I’ve done my best to make amends
From all those ditch and gutter sins
But, every time I close my eyes
It all comes back to me again
So, with a Bible and a bottle by my side

I’ll serve God and country first
I know others got it worse
When I need a little help to pull me through
I’ll say a prayer down on my knees
Thank God I’m built for times like these
I’ll stay thankful that somehow I made it through
And I know there’s power in the blood
But, there’s silence in the brandy … Whoa …

He served God and country first
He knew others had it worse
When he’d need a little help to pull him through
He’d say a prayer down on his knees
Thank God he’s built for times like these
He stays thankful that somehow he made it through
He knows there’s power in the blood
But, there’s silence in the brandy …
