about

According to Nick Leet...

This song is written about my grandfather who fought in World War II and died when I was 9 years old. I was 27 when I wrote this one and was wondering what he would have thought about me as an adult.

My favorite memory of this song is playing in Minot, ND with my grandma in attendance. The look on her face will always be with me.

I was stuck on the last line of the chorus and Ben "Country" Baker suggested "Red Cross, name on a chain" which fit perfectly as he was a medic in the war.

lyrics

Are you proud of me like you were back then
With your yellow hat and your big old grin
can you see things real clear through the clouds and snow
to see how far I can go and where I've been

There are things you'd never say
never let it get in the way
Red Cross, name on the chain

Second world war through a young man's eyes
did what you needed to survive
you wouldn't shoot no one
against what you believe
wearing a Purple Heart on your sleeve

70 years
not enough time
I got you looking out
my partner in crime
