Lyrics - G I Loan by George Jeffrey

My grand daddy fought in
World
War
ICame back proud when he was done
My daddy was proud to be his son
And a heroes welcome home
Found two scrub acres straight up and down25 miles from the nearest town
Howling of the wind was the only sound
And he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Built a four room house on the side of that hill
You know, that house is standing still
A place to call his very own
And he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Yeah, he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Then my daddy went off to
World
War
IICame back proud when he was through
God
Bless the
Red,
White and
Blue
And a heroes welcome home
Got a job in the nearest town
Married my
Momma and settled down
Found a house on the edge of town
And he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Three bedroom, brick and a concrete drive
Man it's great to be alive
A place to call his very own
And he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Yeah, he bought it on a
G.
I.
Loan
Then
I went off to
Vietnam
Came back to "who gives a damn"
Not even give the boys a hand
No heroes welcome home
The city streets were filled with fire
My mind was hanging by a wire
A crazy vet no one would hire
And
I couldn't get a
G.
I.
Loan
So
I ran off to the
Delta land
I'm a wild
California
Delta man
This peace of mind's my very own
Who needs your
G.
I.
Loan
Yeah,
Go to hell with your
G.
I.
Loan
All
I want is to be left alone
