about

A soldier's story written when the U.S. first invaded Iraq

lyrics

Bradley fire a burning on a bloody spring day
Mama, there's shrapnel in my leg
A distant line of palm trees is calling me home
But it's 20 miles to Baghdad today

Burning vehicles exploding, black smoke hangs in the air
The Euphrates rolls lazily along
Lying in this marsh grass, trying to stay strong
But it's 20 miles to Baghdad today

Now the B-52s are leading in the sky
Rockets blaze like 4th of July
A flock of white doves and a dog passing by
But it's 20 miles to Baghdad today

Got your picture in my pocket, St. Christopher's with me
And I dream of you all when the darkness falls
When we break camp tomorrow the angels may call
20 Miles to Baghdad today
