Lyrics
[ verse 1]
If a man?s in love
Then a man?s at war
That?s just what my Daddy told me
and now I know it for sure
The day I said "I do"
and gave the Lord my vow
Daddy said "Hey Son"
"You know you?re in the Army now"
I said Daddy Listen
I?d rather be at war with her
Than living at peace by myself
Living at peace by myself
[verse 2]
Two years in the struggle
I?m on guard all the time
and when she?s in the room it?s like I?m
behind enemy lines
And every night I?m getting hit with
100 rounds of friendly fire
"Where ya goin", "Where ya been"
This soldiers getting tired
Daddy tried to warn me but
I?d rather be at war with her
Than living at peace by myself
Living at peace by myself
Bridge
I?d rather be at war
I know exactly what I?m fighting for
I?ll hold my guns
Til victory is won
[verse 3]
Five years in the struggle
She sounds the defeat
Said "I can?t fight no more baby
This war?s got the best of me"
Now I should be happy
But I feel defeat
Cuz what good is a soldier
if ya don?t got an enemy
I hate to admit but
I?d rather be at war with her
Than living at peace by myself
Living at peace by myself
