about

“Just In Case” is about a soldier writing from the front lines to his wife and unborn Daughter. I wrote this in hopes of getting inside the mind of a soldier and shedding light on what these men and women do for our country and the sacrifice they make.

lyrics

I’m writing you this letter To help me remember
My life is more than this bloody war

I vowed to serve my country
I vowed to be your husband
And both I would die for

I’ve been deployed overseas
Forever it seems
Staring at your picture gets me through

But now more than ever
I wish we were together
So I could tell you I love you

But they’ll be sending me home soon
So I can tell you face to face
But hold on to this letter
Just in case

On a sunny day by the sea
Got down on one knee
You made my life with your reply

I was the luckiest man alive
Had the world’s most beautiful bride
To share a first dance on the fourth of July

I can fight another day
Through gunfire and grenades
Because you’re saving me with these memories

Across miles of oceans
Above bright white explosions
Your love is the courage in me

But they’ll be sending me home soon
So I can thank you face to face
But hold on to this letter
Just in case

I heard this morning
Our baby girl was born
Give her a kiss for me

Say that daddy loves you
And I hope she understands
I missed her birthday for her country

But they’ll be sending me home soon
So I can meet her face to face
But hold on to this letter
Just in case
