Didn't I Lyrics
Didn't i make you proud
Go and lay my life down, when you called my name
I thought i stood for something, was doing the right thing when I went away
Now being back should be so simple but I keep getting these mixed signals from everyone
Why do people sit and judge me
Who ain't seen what I seen or did what I've done
Didn't I burn didn't I bleed enough for you
I faced your fears, felt pain so you won't have to
Didn't I do my best
and wasn't home here when I left
I've seen boys fall to pieces
Grown men cry out for Jesus, until they were black and blue
I thought God was on our side, weren't we supposed to be the good guys that would never lose
Because I don't see no ticker tape
or five mile parades, saying "thank you son"
Just folks that sit and judge me
Who ain't seen what I've seen or did what I've done
Didn't I burn didn't I bleed enough for you
I faced your fears, felt pain so you won't have to
Didn't I do my best
and wasn't home here when I left
Go and lay my life down, when you called my name
I thought i stood for something, was doing the right thing when I went away
Now being back should be so simple but I keep getting these mixed signals from everyone
Why do people sit and judge me
Who ain't seen what I seen or did what I've done
I faced your fears, felt pain so you won't have to
Didn't I do my best
and wasn't home here when I left
Grown men cry out for Jesus, until they were black and blue
I thought God was on our side, weren't we supposed to be the good guys that would never lose
Because I don't see no ticker tape
or five mile parades, saying "thank you son"
Just folks that sit and judge me
Who ain't seen what I've seen or did what I've done
I faced your fears, felt pain so you won't have to
Didn't I do my best
and wasn't home here when I left

This is a great song for veterans that I think they really relate to. I love it. It shows how people can still have disrespect for a veteran after all the stuff they went through for you. Thanks.
b
being enlisted in the C. A. F. this song does hit me in the heart. It is true. I feel that way when i go on leave to visit my folks and friends. They don't get why I enlisted, why i risk my life everyday in a country halfway around the world. Be they don't get it cause they haven't experienced it.
