God, Family And Country Lyrics


He grew up in a time
When a third-grade education
Was all the school you needed
To work the family farmHe'd take time off on Sunday
Him and all his family, warm a pew
And give thanks to the LordThere was no gray, only black and white
Didn't need no-one to tell him
What was wrong or right
'Cause he had God, family and countryHe set aside his plow, in early 1940
Said goodbye to his small town
And put on the army greenHard times on the front lines
Writin' letters on wet paper
Not one word about
The awful things he'd seenHis was a generation,
That answered without question
They knew they had to win
'Cause they were fightin' for
God, family and countryOn the coffee table

Sits the family Bible
Where just last year he added
A little boy to the family treeThere's the folded flag they gave us
On the day he left us
But the thing that I remember most
Is the way that he, believed
In God, Family and Country
Ohh, we've got God, family and country

Craig Morgan (born July 17, 1965) is an American neotraditional country music singer. He is noted for writing homey lyrics that focus on traditional values and the simpler pleasures of life.

Morgan was born in Kingston Springs, Tennessee and grew up in rural Tennessee. He became an Emergency medical technician at age 18. A few years later, he joined the Army and was stationed in South Korea. He would later see combat as part of Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989. During his deployment in Korea, Morgan wrote a number of songs and won various military singing and songwriting contests. He is a vocal supporter of the US military, performing for service-personnel in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Upon his return home to Tennessee, he worked various jobs to support his family, including working as a construction worker, a security guard and a sheriff's deputy. He would later land a job in Nashville singing demos for other songwriters and publishing companies.

The demos led to releasing his first album with Atlantic Records, the self-titled Craig Morgan in 2000. In 2003, Morgan signed with Broken Bow Records and released his second album, I Love It. It featured the single "Almost Home", which broke into the Top 10 and earned Morgan a Songwriter Achievement Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

In 2005, Morgan released his third album, My Kind of Livin', which included the smash hit "That's What I Love About Sunday." A four-week number one hit in the early spring of 2005, it was the biggest country music song of that year according to Billboard. The album also included the #2 hit "Redneck Yacht Club". Also included was "I Got You", which Craig had originally penned for Keith Urban, but decided to cut himself instead. "Little Bit Of Life", the lead-off single and title track of his fourth album, is currently climbing the charts.
