Love and War (feat. John Fogerty)

by Brad Paisley

Lyrics
[Brad Paisley]
He was nineteen
When he landed at Bagram
Scared and all alone
He lost a leg and a girlfriend
Before he got home

[Brad Paisley]
And they say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't
[John Fogerty]
He was nineteen in '68
After all this time
That broken boy is now a broken man

Waitin' in a VA line
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

[Brad Paisley & John Fogerty]
And the nightmares
And he's running scared
Far from home
And he wakes up
From a nightmare
He's in another one
He's still not home

They call 'em decorated heroes
And pin some medals on their chest

Give 'em a tiny little pension
Could we do much less

[Brad Paisley & John Fogerty]
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
But forget about you when you don't
