    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.

BISCUITS AND GRAVY Justice Mercer and Angelina Weingartz / James House From the moment we met We had a language of our own It’s like you already knew me When I was with you it felt like home This is the love that will saved me Only you know what I mean when I say Biscuits and gravy You were divorced I was on my way there too Needed some time to fix me Before I could think about me and you But I know this love is gonna save me Cause only you know what it means when we say Biscuits and gravy The words I love you never worked before It didn’t mean anything, anything anymore We needed something new Just for me and you So when were alone Or when were apart We say biscuits and gravy To bring comfort to our hearts But I know our love is gonna save me Cause only you and I know what it means when we say Biscuits and gravy

WHEN WE GET MARRIED Jovanna Cantu and Oscar Garza / Gary Nicholson When we get married We don’t want a thing to change We want to wake up every morning And know our love is still the same We know that we’ve been blessed By the good lord above We won’t need no fancy wedding We’ve already proved our love I love the way we do our laundry baby It takes us both to fold those fitted sheets I love the way we mow the yard together You on your john deere and me on my old heap When we get married We don’t want a thing to change We want to wake up every morning And know our love is still the same We know that we’ve been blessed By the good lord above We won’t need a fancy wedding We’ve already proved our love I love it when we deer hunt together darling You do the shooting I do the skinnin It don’t matter who gets the trophy baby As long as we’re together were both winnin’ When we get married We don’t want a thing to change We want to wake up every morning And know our love is still the same We know that we’ve been blessed By the good lord above We won’t need a fancy wedding We’ve already proved our love Just like our folks I know we’ll make it fifty years Nothing’s ever gonna tear us apart We’ll share the laughter we’ll share the tears Living out our lives heart to heart When we get married We don’t want a thing to change We want to wake up every morning And know our love is still the same We know that we’ve been blessed By the good lord above We won’t need no fancy wedding We’ve already proved our love

LOVE LOST Michael and Jennifer Saunders / James House / Terry Radigan Baby I wanna get away But baby I wanna stay All this pain is tearing us apart I don’t know what’s inside your heart Once upon a time You were my partner in crime Let's steal away I’ll be yours And you’ll still be mine It’s been one thing or another Lets get back to being lovers Can’t you feel it it’s getting late Lost love will run away and it won’t wait I remember holding our son Seems like life had just begun You know it wasn’t all that long ago If we could just hold on and not let go Once upon a time You were my partner in crime Lets steal away I’ll be yours And you’ll still be mine It’s been one thing or another Lets get back to being lovers Can’t you feel it it’s getting late Lost love will run away and it won’t wait We fight hard But we love harder Can’t you see the light We’re gonna be alright Once upon a time You were my partner in crime Lets steal away i’ll be yours And you’ll still be mine It’s been one thing or another Lets get back to being lovers Can’t you feel it it’s getting late Lost love will run away and it won’t wait I said lost love will run away And it won’t wait

THE STORY OF LOVE Eric and Maleaia Peterson / Michael Saunders / Gary Nicholson / Amy Speace Guess we showed them we made it work for 35 years We let love lead us on through the laughter and the tears Guess we showed them the ones that said we never make it last Well here we are today and we’re never looking back Ain’t that always the story of love Two people find each other And they just can’t get enough They hold on to each other When the going gets tough Ain’t that always the story of love We were eighteen and nineteen and seven months along Two babies sent from heaven fourteen months apart Thirty five years is a pretty good start Everything we have to say now is coming from the heart Ain’t that always the story of love Two people find each other And they just can’t get enough They lift each other up When the going gets tough Ain’t that always the story of love We take each other to the here and now No fear of the future no regret for the past The only thing that's constant is change And only love can make it last Ain’t that always the story of love Two people find each other And they just can’t get enough They hold on to each other When the going gets tough Ain’t that always the story of love

Together 03:44

TOGETHER Jeremy and Victoria Holmes / Terry Radigan / Amy Speace It’s not easy but it’s simple We made it so hard on ourselves Didn’t think we were worth saving So we tried to save everybody else Still not perfect but we’re better Still trying to get somewhere Going nowhere but together Every step along the way Will be our prayer Used to think I knew what love was But I was barely out of school Going round and round in circles But baby you broke all my rules I wanna love you like you love me And I’ll have love to spare Going nowhere but together Every step along the way Will be our prayer Gonna make a brand new promise Gonna make some new mistakes Gonna get down on our knees and Ask god to give us grace Me and you we’re gonna do Whatever it takes We’re not perfect but were better Still trying to get somewhere Going nowhere but together Every step along the way Will be our prayer Every step along the way Will be our prayer And I pray we never get there

C4 Jovanna Cantu / Oscar Garza / Jeremy Holmes / Victoria Holmes / Justice Mercer / Eric Peterson / Maleaia Peterson / Michael Saunders / Jennifer Saunders / Angelina Weingartz / James House / Gary Nicholson / Terry Radigan / Amy Speace I’ve been learning To not just think about myself And learning how to think of someone else See I have always done it on my own but it’s time to get grown Learn how to skip that stone I wanna leave behind those yesterdays I want you to become my new way I wanna know that we’re both here For the joy and tears Till the days turn to years And walk with me (walk with me) let’s be free (let’s be free) Cause we deserve so much more Talk with me (talk with me) together we’ll see What’s on the other side of the door Now this ain’t our first rodeo And we sure got a long long way to go But anywhere with you is my true home With you i’m never alone So babe, let’s skip that stone And walk with me (walk with me) let’s be free (let’s be free) Cause we deserve so much more Talk with me (talk with me) together we’ll see What’s on the other side of the door We’re both afraid Both been hurt in the past But as one we’ll unlock What only c4 can blast And walk with me (walk with me) let’s be free (let’s be free) Cause we deserve so much more Talk with me (talk with me) together we’ll see What’s on the other side of the door Cause know I know what I’m walking for
