War Stories

Pull on up

To the soapbox stool

Let me tell ya some stories

About how life can be cruel

I had big dreams

But they turned to dust

I need another shot of oil

'Cause it's starting to rust

And I'm tryin' to make a living

Tryin' to find my way

I've been bustin' my ass

To be somebody someday

Tryin' to make a living

Tryin' to get ahead

Shootin' at the moon

But it shot me down instead

War stories

I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life

Through those war stories

I made it through the battle of life

And it's on and on until you're long gone

But the strong keep stickin' it out

Through those war stories

Everybody's got 'em, when you hit the bottom and survive

I said have another drink

This one's on me

Let me tell ya 'bout pain from A to Z

I got scars from my head to my feet

Some like a junkyard car still rolling down the streets

And I'm tryin' to make a dollar

Tryin' to pay my way

I've been bustin' my balls

And then they take it all away

Tryin' to climb the ladder

Reaching for the sky

I ain't going down

Until they hang me out to dry

War stories

I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life

Through those war stories

I made it through the battle of life

And it's on and on until you're long gone

But the strong keep stickin' it out

Through those war stories

Everybody's got 'em, when you hit the bottom and survive

And it's on and on, until you're long gone

But the strong keep stickin' it out

They got towing the line 'til the sun don't shine

But all I got left to talk about

Are those war stories.

I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life

Through those war stories

I made it through the battle of life

War stories

Through those war stories

Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive
