The Greatest Generation

[Verse 1]

If you been wondering

Just what has made us grow

A generation hard as stone

My father's father

May God rest his soul

He taught me something you should know:

[Pre-Chorus]

You put your shoulder to the wheel

You put your nose to the grindstone

You work your fingers straight to the bone

[Chorus]

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

A generation

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

Selfless, relentless

Don't let their memory fade away

No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

[Post-Chorus]

Remember what made us great

Now's the time to

Remember what made us great

[Verse 2]

They dug and shaped the earth

And, with their hands, gave birth

To all the modern wonders that you see

They worked from dawn till dusk

They did it all for us

If we take one thing from them, it should be

[Pre-Chorus]

You put your shoulder to the wheel

You put your nose to the grindstone

You work your fingers straight to the bone

[Chorus]

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

A generation

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

Selfless, relentless

Don't let their memory fade away

No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

[Bridge]

I am forever grateful

I am the man I am today

(Don't leave us)

I am forever grateful

For your hand in making me this way

(Don't leave us)

[Refrain]

Remember what made us great

Now's the time to

Remember what made us great

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

Remember what made us great

Now's the time to

Remember what made us great

[Chorus]

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

A generation

I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

Selfless, relentless

Don't let their memory fade away

No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us

Don't leave us

[Post-Chorus]

Remember what made us great

Now's the time to

Remember what made us great
