Hi Group,
This is a new song that I wrote that was inspired by a true story.
Please see this link before you listen to the song.... It will give you some background on why I wrote it.

Ok it worked that time!  Great song.  Was that your wife singing the second part?  The words are very family friendly, and well done.

Glad you liked it.  Yes that's my Wife singing in the bridge.  She's has a really great voice. When I first met her she never mentioned she could sing.... and I never mentioned anything about playing guitar. We had both been away from music for 20 plus yrs.
 
Since law enforcement has been under attack in the county (especially in the previous admin) I think its about time that we let them know that we have their backs. They are the only buffer between a civilized society and anarchy.  Sure there is a tiny percentage of cops that are bad but the vast majority are good people trying to make a difference.  
 
This song is for them and the civilians of this nation that have their backs when and if the SHTF... I hope we never have to find out.

Fantastic listen! I'd bump up the vocals in the heavy part but otherwise spot on!
