A song for anyone who has ever served to defend the United States of America. Without the troops out there fighting for our freedom I wouldn't be able to follow the dream.

Country with a Memphis twist.
Trey Jewell is proud to be sponsored by: Rising country star Trey Jewell is a singer/songwriter born and raised in the prolific musical environment of Memphis, TN. Trey came by his musical interest honestly as he followed his fatherâs career as a solo artist and as the tenor/lead in the southern gospel quartet Call to Worship. Treyâs family and friends recall he came into this world hardwired for music. At the tender age of 12 Trey discovered his motherâs student guitar and seemed to innately understand the instrument. Having already performed in church and with his dad, the combination of guitar and vocals gravitated quickly to songwriting. At the age of 13 Trey penned his first song âœBlue Riderâ which many of his fans still acknowledge as one of his greatest compositions. Writing beyond his years, Trey honed his skills to produce haunting melodies to showcase his lyrics which drive home the pain of a broken heart and the joy of love. At 14, Trey assembled his first band and self-produced his demo âœThe Acoustic Setâ including 5 original songs. This demo was later expanded into a 10 song collection released in November of 2006. That was when Dad decided it was time to head 200 miles east to Nashville to help Trey pursue his dream. The very first day Trey hit Nashville, he was showcasing his talent everywhere he went with his dad on his left providing harmonies that only come from close family. They were quickly noticed and asked to record Treyâs Nashville debut CD âœAll Roads Lead to Youâ, released in June of 2007. It has been an eventful experience since the CD release party in Music City USA. Trey has performed at several venues opening for platinum selling recording artist David Ball, Rio Grand, Rick Monroe, and The Flat River Band in addition to headlining at Hard Rock Cafà on Beale Street in Memphis and The Legendary Beach Wagon in Myrtle Beach, SC. One of the 2008 highlights was making many new fans and performing at Whiskey Island and Cadillac Ranch during CMA Fan Fest in April. These performances helped Trey secure an investor and a producer for his next project to be released in the near future. Treyâs music continues to be played worldwide as he gains new listeners through radio play, treyjewell.com, his MySpace, and his high-energy live shows.

Story behind the song
On my 18th birthday I received my registration card in the mail and it became real to me what was going on overseas. I realized that on the other side of the planet right then and there people my age were fighting to keep me and every other American free. I went back inside the house sat down and wrote this song.
Lyrics
He was just eighteen, when he packed his bags He said goodbye, to his mom and dad Got on a plane, and went to war And he could tell you just, what he was fighting for Sometime after midnight he sat outside alone Wrote a letter to his family, it said "I don't know when I'm comin' home But please don't worry 'cause I know I'll be just fine Keep me in your prayers, you're in all of mine." Well the weeks turned into months, and the months turned into years He got a letter from home one day and he burst into tears It seemed his daddy wouldn't be there to see him when he came home The doctors did the best they could it was just his time to go And sometime after midnight, a full moon shone On the name of a husband carved into stone A man who could be proud of every single thing he'd done A father kept alive in the memory of his son Well the shots rang out on the battle field the very next day And as the soldier closed his eyes, he began to pray And sometime after midnight an angel led him home His father was waiting for him at the throne The soldier cries his tears of joy, he's not alone Yea sometime after midnight an angel led him home.
