War Stories Lyrics

Pull on up into the soap box stool Let me tell you 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 startin' to rust
And I'm tryin' to make a livin', tryin' to find my way I've been bustin' my ass to be somebody, someday Tryin' to make a livin', 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 of life 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 you survive
I said have another drink this one's on me Let me tell you 'bout pain from A to Z I got scars from my head to my feet Some like a junkyard car, still rollin' 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 I'm tryin' to climb the ladder, reachin' for the sky I ain't goin' down until they hang me out to dry, yeah
War stories, I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life Through those war stories I made it through the battle of life 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 you survive
And it's on and on until you're long gone But the strong keep stickin' it out They got towin' 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 of life
War stories Through those war stories Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and you survive
