	Story Behind the Song 3-27-03 I came into my studio this morning about 1:00am and started working on a finger-picking tune I'd had going. Then, for a break I just started strumming the chords and the next thing this melody started coming. I'd been watching a lot of the war on CNN and so, I guess it was on my mind. I didn't consciously sit down to write a war song but, this is what came out. By 3:00 am I pretty much had it and did a rough recording so I wouldn't lose it. Then, I went to bed. I did some lyric editing today and made a better recording. I hope somebody of power in the business likes this and will do something with it. I don't want any money from it for myself but, would like to contribute something if it's worthy. I don't feel like it's my tune. Lyrics DEVIL’S DUNE (A soldier’s song) words and music by Fremont John Ashton I left my wife and little kids behind Now, I’m holed up in this desert blind oh, oh I wanna go home. And leave this Devil’s Dune. I’m here to fight in this Iraqi war. To take a life is something I abhor, oh oh I wanna go home. And leave this Devil’s Dune. Sleepless nights for endless Days we fight that menace In this sandy haze As the oil wells blaze. Wind and sand are blinding Here we stand not finding Any hope of rest Still, we give our best. They said this war wouldn’t last too long. We’ll hit ‘em hard with our “Shock and Awe” oh, oh I wanna go home. And leave this Devil’s Dune. And though, it’s harder than at first we planned. Let freedom ring in this desert land oh, oh Then, we can all go home. And, leave this Devil’s Dune. Sleepless nights for endless Days we fight that menace In this sandy haze As the oil wells blaze. Wind and sand are blinding Here we stand not finding Any hope of rest. Still, we give our best. We fought a bloody battle through the night. I lost my buddy in the firefight oh, oh God, some good men died. On this Devil’s Dune. I pray this war will be over soon. We’ll be the victors on this Devil’s Dune oh, oh. Still, I wanna go home And leave this Devil’s Dune. Oh oh. I wanna go home and leave this Devil’s Dune Oh oh. I’ll bid salaam, shalom to this Devil’s Dune.
