Pull on up to the soapbox stool
Let me tell ya some stories about how life can be cruel
I had big dreams but they turned to dust
I need another shot of oil 'cause it's starting to rust
And I'm tryin' to make a living, tryin' to find my way
I've been bustin' my ass to be somebody someday
Tryin' 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 through the battle of life
And 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 survive
I 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 streets
And 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 dry

And it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
They got toeing the line 'til the sun don't shine
But all I got left to talk about
Are those war stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it through the battle of life
