Zac Charles (full name - Zachary Wayne Charles Short) wrote and performed his heart grabbing song, "Until I Get Home", while serving in Afghanistan as a combat medic in March 2011. The song is for his wife waiting for him . . . and fellow troops with a wife, girlfriend, husband, or boyfriend waiting for them too . . . And it should remain a touching reminder for troops and their special loved ones waiting for the return home from deployment.

Zac Charles' live performance of "Until I Get Home" in his barrack's room in March 2011.

Thank you Zac Charles . . . for your brave, honorable service for our beloved, great America . . . with best wishes for a safe return home and success in your country music career. David Bancroft, USA Patriotism! founder (August 2011)

LYRICS

Verse 1:
Honey I know that I've had to be away
Far too long, you shouldn't have to live this way
On your own, in that dark and lonely place
I know you need me there

Chorus:
So I'll be on my way home
Just as soon as my job is done
I'll never quit what I start
Which is why I'm still here, It's why you still have my heart
And I can't promise you much,
But you'll always have my love
Keep it close to your soul,
Wherever you go, until I get home

Verse 2:
Honey I know, that you want a normal life
Where I come home, and cuddle up to you each night
But while I'm gone, you give me strength to carry on
It's your love that makes me strong

Chorus Repeat

Bridge:
They say home is where the heart is,
That's where I wanna be
But if the Good Lord says it's time to go
Please don't worry about me

Chorus:
Cuz I'll be on my way home
and I can hear Him say "well done"
And I will wait for you my love
And you'll never be alone
Girl, just keep on holding on
Until I get home
