I left my soul in Iraq.

  • Lyrics:
    Rolling down the highway. Running from my home. I won’t look in the rearview. But I don’t know where I’ll go. I don’t got no money. The VA done me wrong. 10 months in Falluja. That’s where I lost my soul. I lost two brothers in Tikrit . I know it was my fault. I never will forgive myself for my second tour. Loneliness is weighing on my soul. I don’t know if I wanna wake up tomorrow at all. Loneliness is taking control. Memories of laughter, well they’re all gone.
    I guess I’ll ask for mercy, from my God. Maybe he’ll forgive me and make me strong.
    I don’t got no money, the VA done me wrong. Maybe I’ll find a shelter to call my home.
    I wrote this song about a friend I met at a homeless shelter. He had to take Seroquel several times a day in order to deal with his thoughts. He was too violent to stay at the shelter. I lost track of him. I hope he is still healing.

    My Marine and son in law were there. Forever changed. Even this Momma has PTSD. The VA absolutely sucked back then. My poor boy ended up in the psych ward couple of times I flew all over the United States trying to help him Today he is well and I’m half dead. My son in law 21 years in service and just got out. Severe PTSD. No concerts or crowed places. It’s terrible. . The sandbox The VA screwed my son.
    I love how you play and your passionate voice, raw lyrics. Haunting but beautiful. 🖤🖤🖤Thank you for your service. Lost a few Marines I know. It’s excruciating. I subscribe. This is the best therapy, playing guitar and singing. That’s what I’m doing now I picked my guitar back up after many years. God bless you. Prayers 🙏🖤🙏🇺🇸🎸🎤🎶🎵

    Thank you so much for your service and this song! I've lost alot of friends who were in the service. My father was a vet and the master training coordinator for the nra and he took his own life at 59 years old in 2020 and it hurts so bad everyday. I don't know I came across this song I will never know what you went through but my heart goes out to you brother and all of our men in women who put their lives on the line for the greater cause. God bless you brother!

      I have no idea how this song came on my Utube music channel but it brought me to tears. I am a 58 year old RN with MS and need back surgery but they won't do the surgery unless I quit smoking and quit taking my opiate pain meds that I have been on for 12 years. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't wake up but need to care for my 92 year old mom and my 24 year old autistic daughter. God is telling me I need to be here. Living is hard but there are always the better days too. Hang in there and I will pray for you. Sending love you're way.❤❤❤

    Very well done Sir 👏 All you can do is forgive yourself for your 2 fallen brothers.. War is not a beautiful thing. People go out in many ways and sometimes at your own hand. But you must still forgive yourself as it is not your punishment to carry around for the rest of your days on earth. Forgive yourself and be at peace. You've suffered enough. Perhaps redeem yourself by doing something every year for their immediate family. Send their kids a birthday card and gift. Attend one of their kid's Ball games or have pizza with their families. All you have now is time.
