Crazy Old Soldier

But like a crazy old soldier
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
Just me and the whiskey

Fighting a war on my own

I just don't know when to quit
I'm like a crazy old soldier
Just me and the whiskey

I'll never hang up my gun
You'd think I'd give up
About how I got out of control
I've tried to forget her
And the bottles are ten thousand strong
Like a crazy old soldier
I'm like a crazy old soldier
Are just faces and places and names
Fighting a war on my own
I just don't know when to quit
And all of the things that we've done
Some say it's a woman
But like a crazy old soldier
Bar rooms and bedrooms
And Lord knows once for the pain
But as long as there are memories
You'd think, I'd give up
Maybe a little bit more

As many times as I've been hit
Some say it's my troubled soul
I've lived to the limit
There are so many stories
Once for the pleasure
As many times as I've been hit
