    Our retreats pair professional songwriters with veterans, military families and couples, and active-duty service members to write songs about their military experiences and transition home. These field recordings were recorded on-site at a SongwritingWith:Soldiers retreat and capture a song being performed just hours after it's been written, like a song capturing its first breath.

OH GOODY Ruthie Goodboe / Georgia Middleman The day we said goodbye The skies, they opened up There was thunder There was lighting And I knew that it was you I swear I heard you say We’re gonna do this my way So you’re gonna Have to trust me Laughing like you do Oh Goody Forgive me For letting you go But I just thought you should know If I’d asked you to stay You would have done that in a minute But you wouldn’t be the man you are And our hearts wouldn’t be in it Oh Goody Go on, be mad at me But just don’t leave me Cause lately I can’t find you And I’ve been looking really hard It’d be so much easier If we believed in miracles The most maddening Part of all Is I don’t know where you are Oh Goody Forgive me For letting you go But I just thought you should know If I’d asked you to stay You would have done that in a minute But you wouldn’t be the man you are And our hearts wouldn’t be in it Oh Goody Oh Goody Go on, be mad at me But just don’t leave me

MATCHING TATTOOS Christy Hoke / Jay Clementi Don’t get me wrong I believe in love If life’s taught me one thing, it’s nothing is permanent This good thing we got going, could be gone in a blink Lets live life in the moment, baby whatcha think Lets go to that Vegas concert Watch that desert sun go down Sit on the porch say everything We need to without a sound Lets get into the swing of things String a lot more todays together Maybe one day my heart can turn these sparks into forever But right now when it comes to me and you Lets not get those matching tattoos Not yet That Johnny and June talk, sends me to a panic I’m not sure i’m ready for a hopeless romantic A story book ending, has never been my friend Everything’s all good, till it all comes to an end So lets go to that Vegas concert Watch that desert sun go down Sit on the porch say everything We need to without a sound Lets get into the swing of things String a lot more todays together Maybe one day my heart can turn these sparks into forever But right now when it comes to me and you Lets not get those matching tattoos No, not yet I don’t want to love in fear, No you can’t do it halfway If you hang in there with me baby, I might get there someday Lets go to that Vegas concert Watch that desert sun go down Sit on the porch say everything We need to without a sound Lets get into the swing of things String a lot more todays together Maybe one day my heart can turn these sparks into forever But right now when it comes to me and you Lets not get those matching tattoos Not yet —probably not ever

WHAT WOULD GOODY DO Ruthie Goodboe / JD Martin / Georgia Middleman He put everybody else first He always stepped up Willing to lead, willing to bleed He lived and loved He always had a smile Saw you for who you are A man’s man, who took a stand With a true blue heart He was everything to everyone he knew What would Goody do If he was talking to you He’d want everyone to be free Do for you what he did for me What would Goody do He would never say no You could count on him To be on your side, do or die ‘Til the end If you were a stranger You wouldn’t be for long He’d protect you, he’d defend you Weak or strong He breathed red, white and blue What would Goody do If he was talking to you He’d want everyone to be free Do for you what he did for me What would Goody do What would Goody do If he was talking to you He’d want everyone to be free Do for you what he did for me What would Goody do What would Goody do Do what Goody would do

LONELY GLASS OF WINE Katie / Jay Clementi Every time I look at her, I see a piece of you We know you’re with us, but you took a piece of us too We’re down here hurting, but working on making you proud We could use hearing you say, it’s gonna be ok right about now I know you picked me cause I was strong But it’s a heavy load to keep your legacy living on Cause you were larger than than life And more than everything in our eyes Thank god you gave her and me Isaiah 43 Fear not I am with you Oh but God we miss you I can’t talk about you, dying for our country That’s the one thing that always haunts me Cause you deserve for everyone to know your name You were selfless, loyal and believed in living free I know you picked me cause I was strong But it’s a heavy load to keep your legacy living on Cause you were larger than than life And more than everything in our eyes Thank god you gave her and me Isaiah 43 Fear not I am with you But God we miss you We see you in that sunset ocean tide Hear you in the songs of Maroon 5 Smell you in some random target line And I feel you in a lonely glass of wine I know you picked me cause I was strong But it’s a heavy load to keep your legacy living on Cause you were larger than life And more than everything in our eyes Thank god you gave her and me Isaiah 43 Fear not I am with you But God we miss you

SUN ON THE MOUNTAINS Denise Coffee Barger / Ruthie Goodboe / Christy Hoke / Katie / Jay Clementi / JD Martin / Georgia Middleman I’m reminded of my place in the world I feel a little broken and small When I look at the jagged rocks In the shadow of the garden of the gods But there’s peace love and beauty And sun on the mountains Hope running through me Sun on the mountains Sun on the mountains I wanna open my up my heart Make sure it’s still there I just wanna feel again Breath in that rocky mountain air There’s peace love and beauty Sun on the mountains Hope running through me Sun on the mountains Sun on the mountains Crashing plates of trauma Carved all this rock and dust The same force of nature Did the same with us There’s peace love and beauty Sun on the mountains Hope running through me Sun on the mountains Sun on the mountains Sun on the mountains
