lyrics

LIFER

I was playing this joint before they were born
I ain't no civilian ain't no greenhorn
we stay open from dusk til dawn
I'll be here singing long after they're gone
long after they're gone

I know you're hurting I know it's hard
but don't come around here showing off your scars
we all got whipped got a few of our own
they're crossing my back like a roadmap son

(chorus)
hey but I don't want to cuss my fate and moan
just want to get my life's work done
listen here buddy for your information
I signed on for the duration


we've all had to slave we've all had to sweat
we've all done a few things we'd rather forget
but that's what happens when a war is on
you keep your gun clean if you ever wanta see home
if you ever wanta see home

I never went to college I never had a job
but I never had to beg or gamble or rob
money don't mean nothing on the front line
you just keep your eyes open keep marking time

(chorus)


we stay open from dusk til dawn
I'll be here singing long after they're gone...
