<pre><font size='+2'>THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA lyrics DRIVE BY TRUCKERS</font><br>George A. was at the movies in December `41<br />
They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on<br />
He drove up from Birmingham back to the family`s farm<br />
Thought he`d get him a deferment there`s was much work to be done<br />
He was a family man, even in those days<br />
But Uncle Sam decided he was needed anyway<br />
In the South Pacific over half a world away<br />
He believed in God and Country, things was just that way<br />
<br />
Just that way…..<br />
<br />
When I was just a kid I spent every weekend<br />
On the farm that he grew up on so I guess so did I<br />
And we`d stay up watching movies on the black and white TV<br />
We watched "The Sands of Iwo Jima" starring John Wayne<br />
<br />
Every year in June George A. goes to a reunion<br />
Of the men that he served with and their wives and kids and grandkids<br />
My Great Uncle used to take me and I`d watch them recollect<br />
about some things I couldn`t comprehend<br />
<br />
And I thought about that movie, asked if it was that way<br />
He just shook his head and smiled at me in such a loving way<br />
As he thought about some friends he will never see again<br />
He said "I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"<br />
<br />
Most of those men are gone now but he goes still every year<br />
And George A`s still doing fine, especially for his years<br />
He`s still living on that homestead in the house that he was born in<br />
And I sure wish I could go see him today<br />
<br />
He never drove a new car though he could easily afford it<br />
He`d just buy one for the family and take whatever no one wanted<br />
He said a shiny car didn`t mean much after all the things he`d seen<br />
George A. never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_sands_of_iwo_jima_lyrics-drive_by_truckers.html" target='_blank'>THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA lyrics DRIVE BY TRUCKERS</a></pre>

George A. was at the movies in December `41
They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on
He drove up from Birmingham back to the family`s farm
Thought he`d get him a deferment there`s was much work to be done
He was a family man, even in those days
But Uncle Sam decided he was needed anyway
In the South Pacific over half a world away
He believed in God and Country, things was just that way

Just that way…..

When I was just a kid I spent every weekend
On the farm that he grew up on so I guess so did I
And we`d stay up watching movies on the black and white TV
We watched "The Sands of Iwo Jima" starring John Wayne

Every year in June George A. goes to a reunion
Of the men that he served with and their wives and kids and grandkids
My Great Uncle used to take me and I`d watch them recollect
about some things I couldn`t comprehend

And I thought about that movie, asked if it was that way
He just shook his head and smiled at me in such a loving way
As he thought about some friends he will never see again
He said "I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"

Most of those men are gone now but he goes still every year
And George A`s still doing fine, especially for his years
He`s still living on that homestead in the house that he was born in
And I sure wish I could go see him today

He never drove a new car though he could easily afford it
He`d just buy one for the family and take whatever no one wanted
He said a shiny car didn`t mean much after all the things he`d seen
George A. never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima
