Slaid Cleaves - 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 carrying 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 wonder when it's all gonna end Body's broken and bone shattered, blood and dust in your mouth Gettin' weary but you're running 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
