LYRICS
Looking back now who the hell knows
Where the soul of a dead soldier goes
Guardian angels maybe they’re true
My guardian angel maybe it’s you
I shouldn’t be here you shouldn’t be gone
But it’s not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room and I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we’re still on the ride
Got holes in my eardrums, bruises and clots
Double vision, my stomach’s in knots
Got pain in my fingers I hurt from head to my toes
I wake up feeling like I’m 90 years old
I shouldn’t be here you shouldn’t be gone
But it’s not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room and I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel, we’re still on the ride
You were my brother, you were more than a friend
You were family to me right up to the end
You’re still with me now I feel you, I know
You’re pushing me forward and you’ll never let go
I shouldn’t be here you shouldn’t be gone
But it’s not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room and I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel, we’re still on the ride - เพลง
The whole album is Grammy worthy. So many times I've been brought to tears. The strength of your songs, Mary, will live on. We love you.
I mean no disrespect. I have never been in the military and no way am I trying to compare my life with our Vets who give so much. This song still kicks me in the gut. I am a recovering addict who wasted my life most of my adult years. I have lost some loved ones to cancer over the last few years who I feel deserved to live much more than me. These were women who had always lived clean lives. Anyway Friday Night October 26, 2019, I had a massive Heart Attack but I am still here and they are still gone. However, this song reminds me that it is not about me and I need to get out of this rut and do something with the life I have been given. Tonight is the first time I have ever heard this song and now Mary Gauthier has a fan for life.
You don't need to be a veteran to understand pain. It's not how we got there that matters it's the end results. I co-wrote this song with Mary.
I totally understand Shelia...I want to say bless you and yours, I can tell you are a giving person and a good friend to many...Have a good day...Paul and Dede in Indy..
i feel you as far as feeling like damn they were worthy of this air i breath. I'm a father and I'll fight for every breath to see it play out. that's the way i feel most days others its a fight.
From a 64 yr old fart from Kalaskraal, South Africa, Guy with all due respect, don't agree, Neither Bob or Neil have been on the life journey that Mary has been, and they have not been on the life journey of the Vet, this is as pure about you'll ever get - absolutely heart and soul felt - don't get me wrong, I love Bob And Neil, but this is on a complete different level - its church
you should listen to johnny cash, "like a soldier",
peace to you
Thank you Bruce I share your sentiments.
This song is just about the most heartbreaking beautiful tune ever recorded. Great to drink and smoke to, I sing my heart out to every lyric. Timeless and heartfelt, this song speaks to my soul. Thank you. Much love from ATX✌
One of those songs that stops you in your tracks. Love her so much. Such a beautiful song and group of musicians.
Thank you Mary - Vietnam 68-69

Only just realised your talent Mary through this song. Absolutely fantastic I've had it on repeat!
Some times are tough, but I am also glad to be alife.
Amazing. Just discovered Mary. This retired Vet is dammed glad I did !

"Bon Dylan and Neil Young" influenced melody!! Absolutely compelling!! The lyrics could be about anything and it would still be great to listen to...over and over... Thank you Mary👍

Looking back now, who the hell knows
Where the soul of a dead soldier goes
Guardian angels, maybe they're true
My guardian angel, maybe it's you
.
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
.
Got holes in my ear drums, bruises and clots
Double vision and my stomach's in knots
Got pain in my fingers, I hurt from my head to my toes
I wake up feeling like I'm ninety years old
.
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
.
You were my brother, you were more than a friend
You were family to me right up to the end
You're still with me now, I feel you, I know
You're pushing me forward, and you'll never let go
.
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, and I close my eyes
And me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
Can’t wait to see you at the Social Mary!
What a real power lady & crew is performing their huge capacities here -- and my Hohner in A is soldiering on.. hahahha
Neil Young couldn't shine your boots
Looking back now, who the hell knows
Where the soul of a dead soldier goes
Guardian angels, maybe they're true
My guardian angel, maybe it's you
[Chorus]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
[Verse 2]
Got holes in my ear drums, bruises and clots
Double vision and my stomach's in knots
Got pain in my fingers, I hurt from my head to my toes
I wake up feeling like I'm ninety years old
[Chorus]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, I close my eyes
Me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
[Verse 3]
You were my brother, you were more than a friend
You were family to me right up to the end
You're still with me now, I feel you, I know
You're pushing me forward, and you'll never let go
]
I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be gone
But it's not up to me who dies and who carries on
I sit in my room, and I close my eyes
And me and my guardian angel we're still on the ride
