Still Fighting The War

Hard times comin home now Can't get your feet on the ground Thoughts and issues and no one wants you around Barely sleepin and you can't get through to the VA on the phone No one is hiring and no one wants to give you a loan And everyone else is carryin on just like they've always done before You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war Flashback to Falluja Lost another best friend Three tours of duty and you're wondering when it's all gonna end Bodies broken and bones shattered Blood and dust in your mouth Gettin weary but you're runnin with the few and the proud Sometimes you wonder why you went, You never wondered what you stayed on for You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war (Bridge) 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 awhile, some will pin you to the floor You've been home for a couple of years now buddy but you're still fightin the war The bedspread is frayin Faded and tearin apart Two strangers holdin each other in the dark Tell me, what were you dreamin? 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 slammin doors You've been home for a couple a years now buddy but you're still fightin the war
