Mikele Buck - Irish Road

Mikele Buck was the first artist I ever recorded around 5 years ago. He introduced me to many great song writers and quickly became one of my good fishing and hunting confidants/ buddies. After his time oversees mikele prefers only to bow hunt and would rather not use a gun on any living creature, which is understandable. This is one of my favorite songs he has written that I have listened to for quite some time, we finally got to get together with Mikele and my buddy David from @TruthfulSessions do a proper recording of this one.

Irish Road

We spun round In resurrection
Laying Rest to wayward souls
We never saw our future
Had only memories to hold
Of a place much rich and greener
I left my West Virginia home
I gambled all I had away to walk down the
Irish road

This place is dry and barren
But they say Jesus walked these streets
Keep a bible right beside my head
Each night when I’m asleep
Well I used to not believe it
But Mama prayed to save my soul
Cause Lucifer’s alive and well
He lives down the Irish Road

Chorus

I prayed Saint Brigid come and save me
Before the Devil takes control
What once was a heart of gold
Is now as Black as Coal
I swear I see the faces
I laid beneath the cobble stones
Every night they come and Haunt me
From Down the Irish Road


They set fire to Armageddon
I rained the brass down in the sand
He cried out for Janie
As he reached and took my hand
Now the piper man’s a blowing
While the angels take him home
Saint Micheal lost another son
Down the Irish road

I prayed Saint Brigid come and save me before the Devil takes Control
What once was a heart of gold
Is now as black as coal
I swear I see the faces
I laid beneath the cobble stones
Every night they come and haunt me
From down the Irish road
Every night they come and haunt me
From down the Irish Road

I wanna thank everyone for the love!!!! I just held the pen. Woke up at 4 am and it poured out of me. God bless my brothers and sisters.

Spent a year patrolling Route Irish. That damn road claimed the best of us. I saw the best and worst that humanity has to offer on that road. Looks like we were there at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

Lord I wish this is what we could hear when we turn the radios on in our cars.

God Bless.

Lost too many friends there on Irish. Some of the best men I ever had the pleasure to know. Thank you for this, it was moving.

Mr. Buck and I did many patrols together- we were the first IED hunters and I for one am honored to have done such a heinous job. Great song, Buck. OIF2 03-05

I drove down Route Irish on several occasions in 2006. Great song, and I very much appreciate this fellow Veteran for making it. 😢😞

I’m writing my memoirs of Route Irish right now I’ll post it when I’m done. First time visiting back to this moment in over 16 years. 39 back in Kentucky and have my own family, I’ve never spoken on it but this song makes me feel like it’s time. Thank you brother for this. If you were there, then you know.

[Sassy-Southerner]

Wow! What an amazing song! Thank you so much for your service to the USA 🇺🇸 As the wife of a USMC veteran, those words you sang hit close to home! My husband served…I stayed home with our children, that’s how I served. I sent my husband to a place I’d never heard of, and they brought him back to me a little different, but he came home! God bless you and thank you for sharing your gift of music 🎶 🇺🇸 🦅

Thank God for praying mommas ❤ love it !

[mpgunner]

Man thanks for writing this. Fucked me up a little, it's not PTSD its nostalgia I guess. Lost almost 15 months of my life there. My son was 3 days old when I deployed. I thank God everyday he let me come home. Can't say that for some of my brothers. Thanks again

[Adam-nvzo]

Eerily beautiful song. Thank you, brother. I appreciate you. God bless.

[yougotthatright]

2003 done that road many a time down to the airport. We were OGA so get no thanks, but we were there with you and shared that ground with the combat vets. We feel what you feel and appreciate the poetic words of this song. God bless you and all that served in combat.

[laurel]

WOW! That is a beautiful song. What a talent!

[Joe-schmoe]

Beautiful song🎵, straight from the soul🙏🏾

[paraickelly]

Brilliant song and singer, much love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

[MacScouse]

So many trips up and down route Irish. Good and bad memories but I came home, many didn't. Songs like this bring back so many memories. May everyone give a thought to the fallen. See you all at the reorganisation brothers and sisters RIP. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[DocYarb]

A brother sent this to me. Between 05-07 we put hundreds of miles down Irish, mostly just the beginning of our missions only to go do some hood rat stuff deeper in the outskirts of the city. Powerful song my dude, got me choked up a bit. I’ve never heard of you till now, you’ve got a new fan. 🤙🏼

[ShondaCraig]

You make the family proud in so many ways, cuz. Ominously beautiful. 🤍🎵
