Letras de Love Is a Never Ending War

Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
To the drone of the Greyhound′s throttle
And awoke to the crack of the paper sack
And a cork popping from a bottle
I tell you son, the old man said
It was hell in World War II
As he rolled up his pant leg
I saw the wood that filled his shoe

Younger man who followed him in
Opened up his vest
Showed the older soldier
Where he caught one in the chest
Both of them had purple hearts
For the hell that they'd been through
Well I don′t have no purple heart
Mine's just black and blue

Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
I'm well trained for what′s in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I′m fighting for
Oh love is a never ending war

They were halfway through that bottle
And they were getting high
I'd never fought in those two wars
But Lord my throat was dry
So I showed ′em scars and stitches
Inflicted by Maria
But I didn't think they′d get me a drink
So I blamed it on Korea

I parted my hair and I showed 'em where
I got shrapnel from a grenade
I just couldn′t tell it was where
Annabelle broke a glass of lemonade
And how that I'd been tortured
By the blade of a bayonet
And I'll never forget that hot August night
And the fingernails of Jeanette

Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
I′m well trained for what′s in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I'm fighting for
Oh love is a never ending war

As I neared my destination
I saw tears well in their eyes
Partly from the drinking
But mostly from my lies
And they stood up to salute me
As I stepped down from the bus
And then out of the open window they yelled
"Give her hell for us"

Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
I′m well trained for what's in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I′m fighting for
Oh love is a never ending war

Oh love is a never ending war
March me into action
I'm well trained for what′s in store
You win some and you lose some
But I believe in what I'm fighting for
Oh love is a never ending war
