The song was inspired by a war veteran Worley met who was having a difficult time adjusting to life back home after being in a war zone for many months. Worley says, "It made me think about what it must be like for all the soldiers, who have served in conflicts past and present, to adjust to being back home. The strain of war must be incredible." He adds, "This song is from the soldier's perspective and the message is, 'Hey man, cut me a little slack if I need a little time to re-adjust here. I'll get there but be a little patient with me - I just came back from a war."[1]
The music video was directed by Jacob Hatley and premiered in December 7, 2006. It features Darryl Worley singing along with showing soldiers going through their daily lives.
"I Just Came Back from a War" debuted at number 52 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of September 30, 2006.
