Girl In The War Lyrics - Josh Ritter

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
