"I Miss You Bad" came from a real moment in my military journey. I wrote this while deployed, watching the sun set over a foreign horizon, thinking about home and what we were fighting for. The line "Loyalty ain’t hard when love is real—Distance just sharpens what you feel." captures exactly what was going through my mind. Every word in this song comes from real experiences—the long nights, the brotherhood, the moments that changed everything.
I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.
We serve with honor, we live with purpose, and we tell our stories so others know they're not alone.
I'm grateful for every moment that led to this song, for every person who's been part of this journey, and for the community of veterans and military families who support each other.
This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.
Coming Home: The Story Behind "I Miss You Bad"
(Vibe: “Honey, I’m Good” — resisting temptation; twist: soldier deployed away from partner)Tone: Lighthearted but sincere, loyal, fun** Verse 1 Bar’s loud as hell, boys drinkin’ strong,Jukebox blasting our favorite song.A girl walks over, smiles real wide,Says, “Buy you a drink?” with too much pride.I laugh it off, raise my beer,Say, “Sorry darlin’, my heart ain’t here.”My buddies tease, but they understand—I gave my word when I gave my hand. Verse 2 Your picture’s tucked in my left chest pocket,Every time I see it, my pulse can’t stop it.I tell the boys, “I’m head over heels—She’s the one who makes a soldier feel.”So thanks for the offer, but truth be told,There’s a girl back home worth more than gold.And every mile between us hurts so bad—Honey, I’m good…But I miss you bad. Pre-Chorus Loyalty ain’t hard when love is real—Distance just sharpens what you feel. Chorus Honey, I’m good,But damn I miss you bad.I’d trade every mile, every night I’ve hadFor one more kiss, one more laugh,One more moment in your grasp.Honey, I’m good…But I miss you bad. Bridge Deployment tests the strongest hearts—Ours beats steady miles apart. * Instruments: Acoustic, bright electric, claps, modern drums
