[00:00.00]Love Is a Never Ending War - David Allan Coe
[00:11.58]Well I dozed off in the back of the bus
[00:13.73]To the groan of the Greyhounds throttle
[00:16.56]And I woke to crack of a paper sack
[00:19.32]And a cork poppin' from a bottle
[00:22.18]I tell you son the old man said
[00:24.79]It was hell in world war two
[00:29.47]As he rolled up his pant leg
[00:31.70]I saw the wood that filled his shoe
[00:36.45]The younger man who followed him
[00:38.87]In opened up his vest
[00:41.85]Showed the older soldier
[00:43.74]Where he caught one in the chest
[00:47.32]Both of them had purple hearts for the hell
[00:50.57]That they've been through
[00:54.83]Well I don't have no purple heart
[00:57.30]Mine's just black and blue
[00:59.38]Oh love is a never ending war
[01:05.36]March me into action
[01:07.18]And we'll train for what's in store
[01:12.02]You win some and you lose some
[01:14.45]But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
[01:19.63]Oh love is a never ending war
[01:25.22]They where half-way through that bottle
[01:28.08]And they where gettin' high
[01:30.86]I never fought in those two wars
[01:33.45]But Lord my throat was dry
[01:35.98]So I showed them scars and stitches
[01:39.02]Inflicted by Maria
[01:43.72]But I didn't think that would give me a drink
[01:45.76]So I blamed it on Korea
[01:50.23]I parted my hair and I showed them where
[01:52.15]I got shrapnel from a grenade
[01:55.57]I just couldn't tell it was where Annabelle
[01:57.87]Put a glas of lemonade
[02:01.04]How that I've been tortured
[02:03.38]By the blade of a bajonet
[02:07.55]And I never forget that hot August night
[02:10.19]And the fingernails of Jeanet
[02:12.35]Oh love is a never ending war
[02:18.37]March me into action
[02:20.38]And we'll train for what's in store
[02:25.17]You win some and you lose some
[02:27.70]But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
[02:32.62]Oh love is a never ending war
[02:38.29]As I neared my destination
[02:40.87]I saw tears well in their eyes
[02:44.43]Partly from the drinkin'
[02:46.94]But mostly from my lies
[02:48.98]And they stood up to salute me
[02:51.25]As I stepped down from the bus
[02:55.82]And out of the open window they yelled
[02:59.14]Give her hell for us
[03:00.84]Oh love is a never ending war
[03:06.68]March me into action
[03:08.58]And we'll train for what's in store
[03:13.45]You win some and you lose some
[03:16.07]But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
[03:20.86]Oh love is a never ending war
[03:26.07]Oh love is a never ending war
[03:31.95]March me into action
[03:33.83]And we'll train for what's in store
[03:38.61]You win some and you lose some
[03:41.03]But I believe in what I'm fightin' for
[03:45.92]Oh love is a never ending war
