War Stories

Pull on up

to this old bar 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 alive



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 alive



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 'till 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 alive



War stories

Through those war stories

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