My name is Shawn White. I live in the "Big Sky Country" here in Montana. I lived all my life in the Saco - Hinsdale area in the northeastern corner of the state along the banks of the Milk River. This is where my parents (Gary & Alfreda) taught us kids; Dale, Dustin, Desiree & myself to enjoy life; but most of all take pride in whatever we wanted to do! I love to take our 2 dogs (Keno & Kidd) out for runs, fish, hunt, draw, paint, play pool, throw darts & of course write songs!! I actually wrote my 1st song when I was in the 6th grade, but then basketball became an obsession! We played absolutely every day & night! It did pay off because we won the state championship my senior year! I joined the National Guard my junior year & got out in the early 90's. That's when I started my railroad career. I've been to almost every state west of the Mississippi being a "gandie dancer". (Term for a worker on a rail or tie gang.) I've seen a lot of places & have met a ton of people out there; including my lovely wife Steph! I met Steph while I was working in Henryetta, Oklahoma! Steph & her son moved up to Montana with me so I knew I had to marry her!! I started my songwriting career a few years ago. Sure wish I kept writing after my 1st song in 6th grade, but now I have 25+ years of awesome songs in my head that are waiting to be heard by everyone!!

I am so_ sorry...about the change...in our_ plans. Since I've been de_ployed...now it's...in God's_ hands. Let me wipe those_ tears...from your pretty...brown eyes_; And give me a long, long_ kiss...and a hug...goodbye_. Please_ baby...I hope you don't...ask_ why? I'm over here...giving it my...best_ try. Fighting for freedom...and the...promise_ land; Searching for answers...to questions...I don't...Under_stand. (I...have to go...cuz)...there's sweat...running in my...eyes__. You know I_ love you...and I...don't want to_ cry....In this...I_raqi...sand..... There's fighting and killing...going on...over_ here; But being away from you...that's my...only_ fear. So keep hoping for a miracle...and let us...pray for_ peace; Cuz I want out of this mess...here in the...Middle_ East. Please_ baby...I hope you don't...ask_ why? I'm over here...giving it my...best_ try. Fighting for freedom...and the...promise_ land; Searching for answers...to questions....I don't...Under_stand. (I...have to go...cuz)...there's sweat...running in my...eyes__. You know I_ love you...and I...don't want to_ cry...In this...I_raqi...sand... Some people are saying....that we have...finally_ won; So I'll be coming home...to you and our...new_ son. The children are out playing...and it's a...beautiful_ morning... (Then...as a car stopped...it.....exploded!!)....There was no Warning__!!! Oh__ Please__ baby....I hope you don't...ask__ why? I'm still over here...and I...gave it my...best_ try. Fighting for freedom...and the...Promise_ land; Searching for answers...to questions...I'll never...Under__stand! (I...have to go baby.....cuz)...there's blood......running in my...eyes____. You know I__ love you..and I...don't want to__ die...In this...I_raqi...sand... In this...I_raqi...sand.....Oh Lord....I don't want to__...Die___________. .....In this...I_raqi...In this...I_raqi.......In this......I_raqi____......sand.....

Hello Shawn,
I sent you a friend request and also a message. I wrote some music for your poem "Iraqi Sand". I have a recording in MP3 format that I can send you once I know your email address.
Mine is klneufer2003@yahoo.com.
Have a Wonderful day,
Kurt Lewis Neufer
Hi! Great to have the friendship. We ought to do some collaboration, sometime. (By the way, I don't find the lyrics to have too much 'emotion'...) How's the weather out your way? We have another few inches of snow planned for the next couple of days. Cheers!
