Me and John Performed and Written by Robert Winters Copyright 1986 "I could never adequately express my Thanks and Appreciation for those that bravely stepped forward and endured the task at hand. I joined the Army in 1974 and spent my time at Fort Knox with many of the returning Vietnam War Veterans. They were a Maverick bunch (and still are) that were biding their time and waiting for freedom. This song is about my, then, neighbor, John Russell in Madison Ohio. John did spend much time in Vietnam and saw the horrors of the event that took many precious lives. I am grateful to all those who serve. I have appreciation for every patriot, for I am one." Robert Winters - April 13, 2008 Video is no longer available. Lyrics We sat upon a hill, for what seemed like forever More than a couple times, I thought that we were gone We were fighting for Liberty We were spreading Democracy We were certain the free world Had forgotten Me and John
We walked thought miles and miles, of total devastation Not seeing faces, only counting up the score Not giving up our pride Praying God's on our side Fighting and never really knowing, just what for
Chorus And though the years have passed We still recall the faces Sleeping just long enough To watch them fall again Meeting out Brother in such unforgiving places The Faithful and the Brave, Patriotisms slaves We are the Loyal Brotherhood of Vietnam
We sat upon a hill for what seemed like forever More than a couple times, I thought that we were gone In leaving we stood and cried For part of us all had died But know one will ever, know the truth like Me and John Know one will ever know the truth like Me and John
