Chief Dick Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I wrote this song after my neighbor's son was heading back to his ship after Christmas leave. I'm definitely no songwriter, and I'm not a good singer at all. But that day, all I could think about was this man, this boy really, leaving his mother to go fight for me and my family. And this song came out. He's safe and sound, but the song is a tribute to those who haven't come back. I know some of you will like it and some will laugh at my feeble attempt at music, and that's cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Excellent! Thank you kind sir. On a side note, I had your collection on shuffle the other night while playing cards with the neighbors. We had a good time with the wide variety of songs that came across the sound waves.

Chief Dick Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) that was excellent. Very emotional song. Job well done. Have you played it for the neighbors? What was the reaction if you did? Honestly, this is the first time anyone has heard it except my wife. I feel kind of dumb even putting it up there, but I love that song so much and wanted to at least get it on video before I lost the words or forgot how to play it. Thanks for the kind words all.
