Pull on up
To the soapbox stool
Let me tell ya some stories
About how life can be cruelI had big dreams
But they turned to dust
I need another shot of oil
Cause it's starting to rustAnd I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to find my way
I've been bustin' my ass
To be somebody somedayTryin' to make a living
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 throught the battle of lifeAnd 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 surviveI said have another drink
This one's on me
Let me tell ya 'bout pain from A to Z
I got scars from my head to my feet
Some like a junkyard car still rolling down the streetsAnd 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
Tryin' to climb the ladder
Reaching for the sky
I ain't going down
Until they hang me out to dryWar stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it throught the battle of lifeAnd 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 surviveAnd it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
They got towing the line 'till the sun don't shine
But all I got left to talk aboutAre those war stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it throught the battle of lifeWar stories
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive
