lyrics

War

Some men don't got to go to war
Some men are just built for it
Thats why I mess with you - cause you're tough as nails

Some men don't got to go to war
Some men are just built for it
Thats why I mess with you cause you're tough as nails

I'm a drinker I'm a shooter I'm a hunter - I love war
Thats why i mess with you
Cause you're tough as nails

He says I always think about her
She was a good human
No other woman as good as her
Yeah if she loved me she'd be here beating on my behind
I think about her daily
I think about her all the time

I'm a drinker I'm a shooter Im a hunter- I love war
Some men don't got to go to war
Some men are just built for it
Thats why I mess with you
cause you're tough as nails

He says I always think about her
She was a good human
No other woman as good as her
Yeah if she loved me she'd be here beating
On my behind
I think about her daily I think about her all the time

I'm a dumb drunk she'll betray me
And i'd still love her
i'm a dumb drunk she'll betray me
I'd still love her - I'm a dumb drunk she'll betray me
I'd still love her
Cause thats what women do - thats what women do
Thats what women do - they do it, and I do it too
