lyrics

IRAQ
Brandy Davidson / Mary Gauthier

An army mechanic I worked with the boys
I worked on my back 5 tons and below
Torque wrenches and ratchets, multi-meters and scales
Grease on my hands grease in my hair grease on my clothes

It was so hard to see until it attacked
But my enemy wasn’t Iraq

Soldiers bartered and traded that’s the way our world worked
Trading favors for favors in the dark and the dirt
To get what I needed I had to pay
What I wouldn’t give they tried to take

It was so hard to see until it attacked
But my enemy wasn’t Iraq

I stood my ground I didn’t give in
I drew a line again and again
When fences were falling
When the wind kicked up dust
I looked to the sky and asked the Lord why I had no one to trust

It was so hard to see until it attacked
But my enemy wasn’t Iraq
A salute and a smile
A pat on the back
My enemy wasn’t Iraq
