Love Is a Never Ending War
Love Is A Never Ending War (D. Blackwell)Well I dozed off in the back of the busTo the groan of the Greyhounds throttleAnd I woke to crack of a paper sackAnd a cork poppin' from a bottleI tell you son the old man saidIt was hell in world war twoAs he rolled up his pant legI saw the wood that filled his shoeThe younger man who followed him in opened up his vestShowed the older soldier where he caught one in the chestBoth of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been throughWell I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blueChorus:Oh love is a never ending warMarch me into actionAnd we'll train for what's in storeYou win some and you lose someBut I believe in what I'm fightin' forOh love is a never ending warThey where half-way through that bottleAnd they where gettin' highI never fought in those two warsLetras de cancionesBut Lord my throat was drySo I showed them scars and stitchesInflicted by MariaBut I didn't think that would give me a drinkSo I blamed it on KoreaI parted my hair and I showed them whereI got shrapnel from a grenadeI just couldn't tell it was where AnnabellePut a glas of lemonadeHow that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonetAnd I never forget that hot August nightAnd the fingernails of JeanetChorusAs I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyesPartly from the drinkin' but mostly from my liesAnd they stood up to salute meAs I stepped down from the busAnd out of the open window they yelledGive her hell for usChorus From Letras Mania
