Trace Adkins’ Patriotism Shows In Official Music Video For His Song “Still A Soldier”

In 2017, Trace Adkins released a powerful music video for his song “Still a Soldier” as his personal “salute” to military veterans across the U.S.

As far as country stars go, Adkins is as patriotic as they come. Through his music and his actions, Adkins has made it clear that he will always be proud to support the U.S.A. and our men and women in the armed forces.

Adkins is one of a handful of country stars who tour overseas through the USO. These USO tours have taken Adkins to visit troops stationed worldwide, in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.

During a media event, Adkins revealed that his 2017 USO tour would take him to Italy and Spain. In addition to his touring schedule, Adkins kept busy over that year with the release of a then-new album, Something’s Going On. 

Once A Soldier, Always A Soldier

One of the album’s songs stands out more than any other. Titled “Still a Soldier,” the track is a patriotic tribute to America, similar to Adkin’s previous releases, such as “Arlington” and “‘Til The Last Shot’s Fired.”

Written by Phil O’Donnell and Wade Kirby, “Still a Soldier” has Adkins taking a stand for the U.S.A. and the men and women who risk their lives to protect it. The song follows a former soldier through his daily life as he enjoys time at home watching football, going to church, and being with his wife.

Although the man is no longer enlisted, Adkins sings that he will always feel like a soldier.

“He’ll stand up when he hears the Anthem and that won’t ever change. He’s still a soldier. His blood runs red, white, and blue. He put away his gun and boots, but he still believes the American dream. ‘Til his last breath he’ll always be, a soldier.“

With a soft instrumental track behind him, Adkins pours heart and soul into every word of “Still a Soldier.” His voice clearly conveys his connection to the lyrics, making the song all the more powerful.

Now it’s time for you to hear this stunning track. You can catch Adkins’ official music video for the song below.
