The Sands of Iwo Jima - Drive By Truckers[00:00:00]

George a was at the movies in december '41[00:00:11]

They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on[00:00:16]

He drove up from birmingham back to the family's farm[00:00:23]

Thought he'd get him a deferment there's was much work to be done[00:00:28]

He was a family man even in those days[00:00:33]

But uncle sam decided he was needed anyway[00:00:39]

In the south pacific over half a world away[00:00:45]

He believed in god and country things was just that way[00:00:50]

Just that way[00:00:55]

When I was just a kid I spent every weekend[00:01:13]

On the farm me grew up on so I guess so did I[00:01:18]

And we'd stay up watching movies on the black and white TV[00:01:24]

We watched the sands of iwo jima starring john wayne[00:01:29]

Every year in june george a goes to a reunion[00:01:47]

Of the men that he served with and their wives and kids and grandkids[00:01:52]

My great uncle used to take me and I'd watch them recollect[00:01:58]

About some things I couldn't comprehend[00:02:03]

And I thought about that movie asked if it was that way[00:02:09]

He just shook his head and smiled at me in such a loving way[00:02:14]

As he thought about some friends he will never see again[00:02:20]

He said I never saw john wayne on the sands of iwo jima[00:02:25]

Most of those men are gone now but he goes still every year[00:02:59]

And george a's still doing fine especially for his years[00:03:04]

He's still living on that homestead in the house that he was born in[00:03:10]

And I sure wish I could go see him today[00:03:16]

He never drove a new car though he could easily afford it[00:03:21]

He'd just buy one for the family and take whatever no one wanted[00:03:27]

He said a shiny car didn't mean much after all the things he'd seen[00:03:32]

George a never saw john wayne on the sands of iwo jima[00:03:38]

George a never saw john wayne on the sands of iwo jima[00:03:49]
