Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunrise paints the desert gold
Another day, another story told
In sand and sweat and whispered prayer
A boy becomes a man right there
Miles from home, beneath that sun.
[Chorus]
Dust and diesel, that's the taste
Of freedom fought, a life laid waste
But for the folks back home, I'd stay
And trade this rifle for a brighter day
Lord, I'm just trying to make it through
[Verse 2]
Letter from my girl, she's doing fine
Says the dog still waits by the porch light
I read it twice, then fold it slow
Try to picture what I used to know
Before the bombs, before the fear
[Prechorus]
Just a memory now, a fading dream
[Chorus]
Dust and diesel, that's the taste
Of freedom fought, a life laid waste
But for the folks back home, I'd stay
And trade this rifle for a brighter day
Lord, I'm just trying to make it through
[Bridge]
Some say we're heroes, some say we're wrong
But out here, right and wrong just don't belong
We're just soldiers, doing what we must
Hoping someday we can turn this dust
Back into fields of green again.
