Still Fighting the War
Hard times coming home now, canât get your feet on the ground
Got some issues, and no one wants you around
Barely sleeping and you canât get through to the VA on the phone
No oneâs hiring, and no one wants to give you a loan
And everyone else is carrying on just like theyâve always done before
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
Flashback to Fallujah, lost another best friend
Three tours of duty and you wonder when itâs all gonna end
Bodyâs broken and bone shattered, blood and dust in your mouth
Gettinâ weary but youâre running with the few and the proud
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wonder what you stayed on for
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
But they all come home with the same demons
Some you can keep at bay for a while
And some will pin you to the floor
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
The bedspread is fraying, faded and tearing apart
Two strangers, holding each other in the dark
Tell me what were you dreaming, How did you think it would end?
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slamming doors
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
Got some issues, and no one wants you around
Barely sleeping and you canât get through to the VA on the phone
No oneâs hiring, and no one wants to give you a loan
And everyone else is carrying on just like theyâve always done before
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
Flashback to Fallujah, lost another best friend
Three tours of duty and you wonder when itâs all gonna end
Bodyâs broken and bone shattered, blood and dust in your mouth
Gettinâ weary but youâre running with the few and the proud
Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wonder what you stayed on for
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
But they all come home with the same demons
Some you can keep at bay for a while
And some will pin you to the floor
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
The bedspread is fraying, faded and tearing apart
Two strangers, holding each other in the dark
Tell me what were you dreaming, How did you think it would end?
How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes and slamming doors
Youâve been home for a coupla years now buddy but youâre
Still fighting the war
