This song was originally written by songwriter Jeff Goffman, who graciously allowed me to contribute and hopefully impact the listener by creating a greater awareness of the sacrifices made by all American veterans, both living and fallen.
You mentioned in the Facebook forum that you changed the lyrics and recorded it again. I’d be interested to know what you changed and why. Thanks!

I gave you everything I had, my life my liberty
Please don’t throw it all away
At Gettysburg, on desert sand, I fought for our beliefs
And I would die again today
But I miss America, I miss America
I send her prayers down from Heaven up above
I miss my home, I miss my wife
I miss my kids, my friends, my life
But duty called me from the people that I love
I may be gone, please let my sacrifice live on
I Miss America, I miss America
Thirteen stripes and fifty stars, worn on the right arm
Of every soldier with pride
Though forever in our hearts, it don’t define who we are
That comes from deep inside
I miss America, I miss America
I send her prayers down from Heaven up above
I miss my home, I miss my wife
I miss my kids, my friends, my life
But duty called me from the people that I love
I may be gone, please let my sacrifice live on
I Miss America
Now the freedoms we once stood for, are facing stormy weather
But this eagle has one body, there will never be another
I miss America, I miss America
I send her prayers down from Heaven up above
I miss my home, I miss my wife
I miss my kids, my friends, my life
But duty called me from the people that I love
I may be gone, please let my sacrifice live on
I Miss America, I miss America, God bless America
