Love Is A Never Ending War (D. Blackwell) | |
Well I dozed off in the back of the bus | |
to the groan of the Greyhounds throttle | |
and I woke to crack of a paper sack | |
and a cork poppin' from a bottle | |
I tell you son the old man said | |
it was hell in world war two | |
as he rolled up his pant leg | |
I saw the wood that filled his shoe | |
the younger man who followed him in opened up his vest | |
showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest | |
both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through | |
well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue | |
Chorus: | |
Oh love is a never ending war | |
march me into action | |
and we'll train for what's in store | |
you win some and you lose some | |
but I believe in what i'm fightin' for | |
oh love is a never ending war | |
They where half-way through that bottle | |
and they where gettin' high | |
I never fought in those two wars | |
but Lord my throat was dry | |
so I showed them scars and stitches | |
inflicted by Maria | |
but I didn't think that would give me a drink | |
so I blamed it on Korea | |
I parted my hair and I showed them where | |
I got shrapnel from a grenade | |
I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle | |
put a glas of lemonade | |
how that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonet | |
and I never forget that hot August night | |
and the fingernails of Jeanet | |
Chorus | |
As I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyes | |
partly from the drinkin' but mostly from my lies | |
and they stood up to salute me | |
as I stepped down from the bus | |
and out of the open window they yelled | |
give her hell for us | |
Chorus |
