Just Trying To Stick Around
A Song for Our Military Personnel, from a soldier's perspective on war. It is not about politics, or diplomacy, it's about doing their duty and getting home alive to their love one's.
Story behind the song
Song was inspired by a picture of a mother coming home after a 15-month deployment to find her baby was about 2 and so big. It was emotional and powerful picture.
Lyrics
Just Trying to Stick Around
Written by: Craig Baugher (Boyer)
(1st Verse)
At the crack of a gun
your mind starts racing
everyone runs
while their tracing
the direction that the sound is coming from
You hit the ground
and you zero in
knowing if you don't
your life may end
and you sure don't want let your buddies down
(Pre-Chorus)
Fear rushes in
when everything begins
but you try to push it down
when you're hitting the ground
Everyone you love
everyone you know
everything in life
is put on hold
(Chorus)
There are no politics
to someone on the ground taking rounds
no foreign diplomacy
when bullets are flying and people are dying
No exit strategies
Other than the one your commander begun
You're just trying to stick around
(2nd Verse)
IEDs
have become a disease
that eat at your mind
paranoid to find them
before they unleash their life altering blow
The explosion shocks you
the concussion rocks you
you try to clear your mind
before you're hit blind
spinning action as the bullets flow
(Pre-Chorus)
Fear rushes in
when everything begins
but you try to push it down
when you're hitting the ground
Everyone you love
everyone you know
everything in life
is put on hold
(Chorus)
There are no politics
to someone on the ground taking rounds
No foreign diplomacy
when bullets are flying and people are dying
No exit strategies
Other than the one your commander begun
You're just trying to stick around
