Girl In The War

Peter said to Paul "All those words that we wrote Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go" But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun I gotta girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done Paul said to Petey "You gotta rock yourself a little harder, Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire" And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them And I gotta girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell Paul to Petey "you gotta rock yourself a little harder, Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire" But I gotta girl in the war, Paul her eyes are like champagne They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain Sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain --- Girl in the War - Josh Ritter
