Love and War

Lyrics

[Verse 1: 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 [Chorus: Brad Paisley] And they say all is fair in Love and War But that ain't true, it's wrong They send you off to die for us Forget about you when you don't [Verse 2: John Fogerty] He was nineteen in '68 After all this time That broken boy is now a broken man Waitin' in a VA line [Chorus: 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 [Bridge: 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 [Verse 3: Brad Paisley] They call 'em decorated heroes And pin some medals on their chest Give 'em a tiny little pension Could we do much less [Chorus: 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
