Love Is A Never Ending War (D. Blackwell)
2
Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
3
To the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
4
And I woke to crack of a paper sack
5
And a cork poppin' from a bottle
6
I tell you son the old man said
7
It was hell in world war two
8
As he rolled up his pant leg
9
I saw the wood that filled his shoe
10
The younger man who followed him in opened up his vest
11
Showed the older soldier where he caught one in the chest
12
Both of them had purple hearts for the hell that they've been through
13
Well I don't have no purple heart mine's just black and blue
14
Chorus:
15
Oh love is a never ending war
16
March me into action
17
And we'll train for what's in store
18
You win some and you lose some
19
But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
20
Oh love is a never ending war
21
They where half-way through that bottle
22
And they where gettin' high
23
I never fought in those two wars
24
But Lord my throat was dry
25
So I showed them scars and stitches
26
Inflicted by Maria
27
But I didn't think that would give me a drink
28
So I blamed it on Korea
29
I parted my hair and I showed them where
30
I got shrapnel from a grenade
31
I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle
32
Put a glas of lemonade
33
How that I've been tortured by the blade of a bajonet
34
And I never forget that hot August night
35
And the fingernails of Jeanet
36
Chorus
37
As I neared my destination I saw tears well in their eyes
38
Partly from the drinkin' but mostly from my lies
39
And they stood up to salute me
40
As I stepped down from the bus
41
And out of the open window they yelled
42
Give her hell for us
43
Chorus
