WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO

WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO

Glad you’re back home safe and sound
You’ve been gone for way too long
We got lot o’ catchin’ up to do
Tell me—why do you look so blue

Baby what did you have to do
What put a frown on you
Oh you look so sad
It must’ve been bad

When you left
You were still my sweet little girl
In a pony tail
Now your all grown up
My baby’s has been through hell
Can’t hide it; I been there too
And I can tell
What did you have to do

On the news I heard about the IED
That killed your sergeant and hurt your knee
Flipped your truck off in the weeds
Don’t hold it in—talk to me baby

What did you have to do
When the insurgents came for you
Oh baby—what did you have to do

When you left
You were still my sweet little girl
In a pony tail
Now your all grown up
My baby’s has been through hell
Can’t hide it; I been there too
And I can tell
What did you have to do

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Whatever it was you had to do
It’s what you had to do

Thanks Shari! Wanna co-own it? I’ll try thinking about a way to run down the bones of the melody…I’ll try, and if I get it close I’ll do a quick record and email it to you, then we’ll see if a full-blown melody erupts. Your call…

Love,
JD
