The Shot I Never Took” comes from a different kind of battle, the one that doesn’t end when you leave the field. It’s about living with PTSD, the weight of it, the quiet moments where your mind can turn on you, and the thoughts you don’t always talk about.
I would like open and honest feedback and any recommendations for improvements.
It’s raw. It’s real. It’s emotional. I’m not sure it could be improved, but review the lyrics written with no music and go over each line and judge for yourself.

There’s gotta be a place for this song…a tribute, a gathering…something. Trace Adkins comes to mind. Samaritan’s Purse. Dick Wolf.
