Crazy Old Soldier

Lyrics

I've had fame and fortune
 Women come knock on my door
 I've lived to the limit
 And maybe a little bit more
 There are so many stories
 Of how I got out of control
 Some say it's a woman
 Some say it's my troubled soul
 I'm like a crazy old soldier
 Fighting a war all my own
 Just me and the whiskey
 And the bottles are ten thousand strong
 You'd think I'd give up
 As many times as I've been hit
 But like a crazy old soldier
 I just dont know when to quit
 Barrooms and bedrooms
 Are just faces and places and names
 Once for the pleasure
 And Lord knows, once for the pain
 I've tried to forget her
 And all of the things that we've done
 But as long as there are memories
 I'll never hang up my gun
 I'm like a crazy old soldier
 Fighting a war all my own
 Just me and the whiskey
 And the bottles are ten thousand strong
 (Oh, sing ya) You'd think I'd give up
 As many times I've been hit, never
 But like a crazy old soldier
 I just dont know when to quit
 Like a crazy old soldier
 I just dont know when to quit
