Times were hard but they were fun
In nineteen-forty-one
The year that Jim and Kathryn fell in love
They were graduatin' college
Their heads were full of knowledge
And visions of takin' on the world
But Uncle Sam and those Pearl Harbor bombs
Pulled Jim away from Kathryn's arms.

Then along came Vietnam
In nineteen-sixty-one
The year that Bob and Mandy said: "I do."
They bought a house oustide the city
Everything was sittin' pretty
But again old Uncle Sam said: "I need you."
Bob said: "Mandy, honey, I'll be back
"Don't you worry you can count on that."

And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed
Every father laid awake the whole night through
Every brother bragged; every sister cried
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.

Times were hard but they were fun
In nineteen-ninety-one
The year that John and Sally said goodbye
He held two kids in his arms
As she left for Desert Storm
John could see the sadness in her eyes
He watched her sail away, navy blue
Up on the quarter deck in full salute.

And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed
Every father laid awake the whole night through
Every brother bragged; every sister cried
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.

Some came home as heroes
Proud to be back
An' some came home as heroes
Covered with the flag.

And as the headlines rolled, every mother prayed
Every father laid awake the whole night through
Every brother bragged; every sister cried
Every home town across this land held on till they came home.

Every home town across this land holds on till they come home...
This song is from the album "All American Bluegrass Girl [Rounder]".
