[00:00.00]Still Fighting the War - Slaid Cleaves
[00:03.76]Hard times coming home now
[00:06.56]Can't get your feet on the ground
[00:09.79]Got some issues and no one wants you around
[00:15.75]Barely sleeping and
[00:16.76]You can't get through to the VA on the phone
[00:21.57]No one's hiring
[00:22.63]And no one wants to give you a loan
[00:27.44]And everyone else is carrying on
[00:29.71]Just like they've always done before
[00:33.06]You've been home for a coupla years
[00:35.60]Now buddy but you're still fighting the war
[00:44.37]Flashback to Fallujah
[00:47.23]Lost another best friend
[00:50.03]Three tours of duty and you wonder
[00:51.89]When it's all gonna end
[00:56.08]Body's broken and bone shattered
[00:59.28]Blood and dust in your mouth
[01:02.21]Getting weary but you're running with the few
[01:04.50]And the proud
[01:08.00]Sometimes you wonder why you went
[01:10.55]You never wonder what you stayed on for
[01:13.52]You've been home for a coupla years now buddy
[01:16.67]But you're still fighting the war
[01:21.62]Men go off to war for a hundred reasons
[01:26.96]But they all come home with the same demons
[01:33.46]Some you can keep at bay for a while
[01:36.26]And some will pin you to the floor
[01:39.00]You've been home for a coupla years now buddy
[01:42.19]But you're still fighting the war
[01:50.49]The bedspread is fraying faded and tearing apart
[01:56.24]Two strangers holding each other in the dark
[02:02.20]Tell me what were you dreaming
[02:05.18]How did you think it would end
[02:08.03]How many heroes are scattered out into the wind
[02:13.47]And all the happily ever afters turn to broken dishes
[02:17.59]And slamming doors
[02:21.10]You've been home for a coupla years now buddy
[02:24.19]But you're still fighting the war
