I met up with an old friend down near an old street sign
He said to bring the whiskey boy and I'll bring the wine
I asked him why'd you do it man?
Why'd you stab him in the back?
He said to never mind on that, let's get this back on track
That's when we fought for the war
We fought for the rain
We fought for everything
Ya know it goes away
That's how we sing it
The smoke was hanging heavy in the air that night
So, we went down to the corner store and had ourselves a bite
Yeah, we drank a bunch of beers
We watched ourselves a fight
That was the very last time that we tried to get it right
That's when we fought for the war
We fought for the rain
We fought for everything
Ya know it goes away
That's how we sing it
