    Verse 1
    When 
    my 
    girl 
    got 
    pregnant 
    well 

    dropped 
    right 
    out 
    of school 

    But 
    there's 
    no 
    work 
    in 
    South 
    Hill 

    so 
    what 
    else 
    could 
    do? 

    The 
    recruiter's came- 
    a- 
    knocking 

    when 
    this 
    whole 
    damn 
    thing 
    began 

    They 
    promised 
    me 
    a college 
    education 

    food 
    and 
    medicine 

    They said 
    wouldn't 
    spend 
    dime 

    if 
    got 
    deployed 
    overseas 

    Plus 
    Baghdad 
    is 
    safer 
    now 

    than 
    old 
    Washington, 
    DC 

    So 
    signed 
    that 
    dotted 
    line 
    right 
    quick 

    and in 
    blink 
    of 
    an 
    eye 

    I found 
    myself 
    at 
    Fort 
    Benning 
    where 

    prac
    ticed 
    form
    ing 
    lines 

    Well 
    Fallujah 
    became 
    my 
    home, 

    my 
    comfort 
    and 
    my 
    dread 

    The 
    marines 
    that 
    came 
    through 
    first 

    man 
    they 
    tore 
    this 
    place 
    to shreds 

    With 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    crushing 
    Amtracs and 

    the whine 
    of 
    their 
    Humvee's 

    Verse 2
    Calling 
    in 
    them 
    A- 
    10 air 
    strikes 
    man 

    wish 
    could 
    have 
    seen 
    it 

    But 
    when 
    we 
    got 
    to town 

    realized 
    we 
    were 
    only 
    legs 

    We 
    do 
    dismounted 
    patrols 
    we 

    do 
    searches 
    and 
    do 
    raids 

    We 
    hear 
    the 
    crack 
    of 
    small 
    arms 

    fire 
    and 
    the 
    blast 
    from 
    IED's 

    We 
    hurry 
    up 
    and 
    wait, 

    suck 
    in 
    dust 
    and 
    stay 
    low 
    key 

    Verse 3

    And 
    cannot 
    stop 
    this 

    pounding 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    I thought 
    we 
    were 
    doing 
    right 
    but that's 
    not 

    what 
    folks 
    back 
    home 
    have said 

    Sometimes 
    can't 
    tell 
    which 

    way 
    is 
    up 
    or which 
    is 
    down 

    But 
    I'm 
    oddly 
    at ease 
    with 

    this 
    chaos 
    all 
    around 

    Verse 4

    Then 
    one 
    day 
    out 
    on 
    patrol 

    doing 
    time 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    heat 

    We 
    were 
    ordered 
    to 
    a neighborhood 

    to talk 
    to folks 
    out 
    on 
    the street 

    To 
    gather 
    information 
    on 
    where 

    some 
    weapons 
    may 
    be 
    stored 

    Or to 
    see 
    if 
    the 
    Mujahideen had 
    hauled 
    them 

    off 
    out 
    of Fal
    lujah 
    and 
    to 
    the 
    north 

    Well 
    my 
    platoon 
    got 
    lost 
    and 
    made 

    more 
    then 
    one 
    wrong 
    turn 

    We should 
    have 
    called 
    in 
    our 
    position 
    fast 

    but 
    we 
    blamed 
    each 
    other 
    first 

    Then 
    we 
    started 
    taking 
    sniper 

    fire 
    - god 
    damn 
    them 
    all 

    We 
    couldn't 
    find 
    the 
    shooter 
    no 
    where 

    he 
    had 
    us 
    pinned 
    down 
    one 
    and 
    all 

    Well 
    friendies they 
    caught 
    up 
    and 
    we 
    took 

    back 
    that 
    god 
    damned 
    street 

    But something 
    wasn't 
    right 
    and 

    was 
    feeling 
    really 
    weak 

    My 
    adrenaline 
    was 
    high 
    and 
    was 

    scared 
    and 
    could 
    hardly 
    breathe 

    heard 
    doc 
    argue 
    with 
    the 
    Sarg that 

    morphine 
    might 
    kill 
    me 

    That's 
    the 
    last 
    thing 
    remember 

    that 
    and 
    heat 
    and 
    clear 
    blue 
    sky 

    And 
    thinking 
    about 
    my 
    girl 
    back 

    home 
    and my 
    daughters 
    little 
    eyes 

    took 
    that 
    bullet 
    in 
    Fallujah 
    and 

    I'm 
    laid 
    up 
    in Germany 

    And 
    I'm 
    headed 
    back 
    stateside to 

    the care 
    of 
    Walter 
    Reed 

    Verse 5

    And 
    cannot 
    feel 
    thing 
    below 
    my 
    waist 

    Doc 
    tried 
    to 
    help 
    me 
    man 

    but 
    it 
    was 
    too 
    late 

    Now 
    don't 
    know 
    who 
    is 

    right 
    or 
    who 
    is 
    wrong 

    But 
    I'm 
    fucked 
    up 
    and 

    want 
    to 
    go 
    back 
    home 

    And 
    cannot 
    stop 
    this 

    pounding 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    I thought 
    we 
    were 
    doing 
    right 
    but 
    that's 

    not 
    what 
    folks 
    back 
    home 
    have 
    said 

    Now 
    don't 
    know 
    which 

    way 
    is 
    up 
    or 
    which 
    is 
    down 

    But 
    one 
    day 
    I'll 
    stand 
    firmly 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    Yes 
    one 
    day 
    I'll 
    stand 
    firmly 
    on 
    the ground

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
