G I Joe And Lillie - Oak Ridge Boys[00:00:00]

He was a streetwise kid from Philly[00:00:07]

Just 19 in 44[00:00:10]

Joined up in Uncle's army[00:00:13]

Hit the beach and fought a war[00:00:16]

A decorated hero[00:00:19]

He never talks about those days[00:00:22]

Because of guys like G I Joe our country's free today[00:00:26]

She was Woman's Army corp[00:00:34]

Raised in Carolina dirt[00:00:37]

Escorting wounded young men home[00:00:40]

From a burning hell on Earth[00:00:43]

The first time that she saw him[00:00:47]

He was broken and alone[00:00:49]

Lillie fell in love that day[00:00:53]

When he winked and said Hello[00:00:56]

And Lillie sang this song to G I Joe[00:01:01]

Let me hold you in my arms handsome soldier[00:01:07]

Take my hand for we are going home today[00:01:17]

Let me kiss away your tears[00:01:28]

Let me pray away your fears[00:01:33]

I'll stay here with you[00:01:38]

Till they carry us away[00:01:41]

They married in the spring[00:01:49]

All dressed up in army green[00:01:51]

Took out a loan bought a home[00:01:54]

Raised a family[00:01:57]

The war returned to G I Joe in 1965[00:02:00]

The old wounds came back to haunt him[00:02:07]

But Lillie's love kept him alive[00:02:10]

Now they're living in a veteran's home[00:02:14]

They've both grown old and gray[00:02:17]

The medals earned so long ago[00:02:21]

Now hang there in a case[00:02:24]

Sometimes she finds him weeping[00:02:27]

As he lay there in his bed[00:02:31]

The distant sounds of battle[00:02:35]

Still echo in his head[00:02:38]

And Lillie sings this song to G I Joe[00:02:43]

Let me hold you in my arms handsome soldier[00:02:49]

Take my hand for we are going home today[00:02:59]

Let me kiss away your tears[00:03:10]

Let me pray away your fears[00:03:15]

I'll stay here with you[00:03:20]

Till they carry us away[00:03:23]

Some day they'll rest in Arlington[00:03:31]

Neath the red the white and blue[00:03:33]

Safe in the arms of Jesus[00:03:36]

When their journey here is through[00:03:39]

An American love story[00:03:42]

Not unlike a lot of others[00:03:45]

Except that G I Joe and Lillie[00:03:48]

Is my father and my mother[00:03:52]
