Lyrics:

Been home about six months now

But I still have my doubts

Well I’m not sure how I got here

Or how I’m gonna get out

My mama says I look the same

As I did before I left

But if she could see inside of me

It would scare her to death

I can still taste the powder

From the barrel of my gun

I can hear my sergeant screaming

“Run, soldier, run”

I can feel the backpack on my shoulders

God it weighed a ton

And I see death in every single thought

They taught me how to put that uniform on

I just can’t get it off

Last Saturday they honored us

In a small parade downtown

And when they shot off those fireworks

I nearly hit the ground

And while they smiled and cheered for us

All I could do was stare

Cause part of me is here at home

And part of me is back there

Yeah there’s no end in sight

‘Cause even though I’m home now

I’m still fighting for my life

Well the devil’s won some battles

And he may win some more

But don’t he know the American soldier

Will always win the war

Hey y'all! Here is The OFFICIAL Music Video for "A Soldier's Memoir." Any of you that have been following my career know how important this song is to me! From the night playing at Sloppy Joe's in May of 2011 (the night we killed OBL), to receiving the flag flown over GTMO from our Military as a thank you for my Patritotism.... to the life-changing text message I received from Lt. Jason Duff asking me to write a song about PTSD. Making this music video with my band, SmackDab Media, my brother and fellow advocate for PTSD & TBI Awareness Tom Muffler (Professional Race Car Driver), and MOST IMPORTANTLY... US Marine Tyler Southern and US Army David Crocket has been nothing less than amazing. I have never been more proud of a song, a message, and now a video that I've helped create! I truly hope you'll share this song with everyone you know! For those of you who go to iTunes at https://itun.es/i6Fx7Pz and purchase the song, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to our amazing friends at http://www.bootcampaign.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
