Biografia:
For a young man, Luke Stricklin has seen quite a lot. A small town kid from Arkansas who gave 12 months to the streets of Baghdad, Stricklin has lived a lifetime in just under 23 years. And that dichotomy is one of several that not only defines an emerging country artist, but infuses his debut album with unexpected meaning.
The story of "American By God's Amazing Grace" has been told on news outlets ranging from CNN and Fox News to Newsweek and The Today Show.

Luke Stricklin: American by God's Amazing Grace
Album: American by God's Amazing Grace 2005
I heard this recently on the radio. I do not remember hearing in 2005 or later.
I thought some of you may appreciate it.
[Verse 1]
D C
Bottom of my boots sure are gettin' worn
G D
there's a lot of holes in this faded uniform
D C
My hands are black with dirt and so is my face
G D
I aint never been to hell but it couldn't be any worse than this place.
D C
Tell my wife don't worry 'cause I know what to do
G D
it makes her feel better sometimes, but I don't know if it's true.
D C
I know if I die it's just my time to go
G D
but I pray to God every day that I make it back home.
[Chorus]
Am C
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad
G D
quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
Am C G
'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American
G (strum 1x) D
by Gods Amazing Grace.
[Verse 2]
D C
For the last twelve months I've had a new address
G
the neighborhood smells like sewage
D
and the streets are lined with trash.
D C
You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode
G D
but unlike these people, I have another home.
D C
It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets
G D
walking barefoot through the trash, beggin' for something to eat.
D C
I give them what I got, just to let them know I care
G D
and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there.
[Chorus]
Am C
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad
G D
quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
Am C G
'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American
G (strum 1x) D
by Gods Amazing Grace.
[Bridge]
D C G D 2X as strummed in the verses.
[Verse 3]
D C
You want to talk about it, you better keep it short cause
G D
I got a lot of lost time I gotta make up for.
D C
Really don't care why Bush went in to Iraq
G D
I know what I've done there and I'm damn sure proud of that.
D C
You got somethin' bad to say about the USA
G D
you better save it for different ears 'less you want to crawl away.
D C
And I'll laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad
G D
and tell you to spend some time on the streets of Baghdad
[Chorus]
Am C
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad
G D
quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
Am C G
'Cause you could be raising your family in this place but you were born an American
G (strum 1x) D
by Gods Amazing Grace.
[Outro]
Finish the C G strum pattern and figure out the walk down.
