God only knows how he survived
But I had Jack’s back on the day I died
Our home town gave him a hero’s welcome
But my friend Jack brought the hell home with him

I watched guilt tear that good man apart
He carried that weight like his own private war
I didn’t save his life for him to lose it again
But Jack couldn’t stand that I died savin’ him

Chorus 1 
And thats why he wore his cap down low 
So no one would know the pain in his eyes
And thats why he never talked too long
Showin‘ what’s wrong hidden deep inside
But his pain still showed even though
He wore his cap down low

He struggled with his chores on the farm
Spent more time plowin’ through beers at the bar
His wife saw the damage the war had done
PTSD doesn’t bleed but it scars everyone

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge
Time went on
And a teenage boy came lookin’ for a job
Jack turned him away
But then it all changed when he saw my son’s face

Chorus 2 
‘Cause my boy, he wore his cap down low 
So no one would know the pain in his eyes
And my boy never talked too long
Showin‘ what’s wrong hidden deep inside
But his pain still showed even though
He wore his cap down low

Tag
Jack Said,
Boy, if you’re gonna be my hired hand
Look me straight in the eyes, just like your old man


He Wore His Cap Down Low

A funny little song about our modern Walmart life.

V1
Them pioneers they travelled across the prairie
Fightin’ Bears and fears and indians sayin‘ 
Get the hell outta here!
With diptheria, cholera and no TV
Them pioneers they really needed a Walmart

Chorus
The Walmart people are like the calvary
Buildin’ outposts every couple of miles
The Walmart people say hello to me
Friends that’re paid to wave and smile
And in this frontier of modern life
Might need a shotgun or a baby wipe
Circle the wagons curbside and never leave your car
Yes, every town needs a Walmart

V2
The dustbowl can‘t compare to an empty cereal bowl
Cuz’, breakfast was the west’s most important meal
Folks hungry in the wilderness had no place to go
They died so we’d buy Cheerios from Walmart

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge
Its the new town square
The whole world’s there
It’s Facebook with a long checkout line
Take a look ‘n find everyone in your l-i-f-e

Chorus 2 
The Walmart people are like the calvary
Buildin’ outposts every couple of miles
The Walmart people say hello to me
Friends that’re paid to wave and smile
And in this frontier of modern life
Might need some ammo or a kitchen knife
Circle the wagons curbside and never leave your car
Yes, every town needs a Walmart

If you don‘t need nothin’ just drive awhile you’ll find one
Yes, every town needs a Walmart
Every town needs a Walmart

I used my new modular synthesizer in conjunction with Logic Pro X software.  

Lyrically this is a song about choices, consequences.

Inspired by this passage
"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."  Jeremiah 6:16

After a season of writing lots of high energy pop music I was longing to write a simple and pretty praise song.
