Still Fighting the War

Lyrics

Hard times coming home now
 Can't get your feet on the ground
 Got some issues, and no one wants you around
 Barely sleeping and you can't get through
 To the VA on the phone
 No one's hiring, and no one wants to give you a loan
 And everyone else is carryin' on
 Just like they've always done before
 You've been home for a coupla years now buddy but you're
 Still fighting the war
 Flashback to Fallujah
 Lost another best friend
 Three tours of duty and you're wonderin' when it's all gonna end
 Body's broken and bone shattered
 Blood and dust in your mouth
 Gettin' weary but you're runnin' with the few and the proud
 Sometimes you wonder why you went
 You never wonder what you stayed on for
 You've been home for a coupla years now buddy but you're
 Still fighting the war
 Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
 But they all come home with the same demons
 Some you can keep at bay for a while
 And some will pin you to the floor
 You've been home for a coupla years now buddy but you're
 Still fighting the war
 The bedspread is fraying
 Faded and tearing apart
 Two strangers, holding each other in the dark
 Tell me what were you dreaming?
 How did you think it would end?
 How many heroes are scattered out into the wind?
 And all the happily ever afters turn
 To broken dishes and slamming doors
 You've been home for a coupla years now buddy but you're
 Still fighting the war
