Lyrics:

Brad Paisley
He was nineteen
When he landed at Bagram
Scared and all alone
He lost a leg and a girlfriend
Before he got home

And they say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They send you off to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

John Fogerty
He was nineteen in '68
After all this time
That broken boy is now a broken man
Waitin' in a VA line

They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't

Brad Paisley & John Fogerty
And the nightmares
And he's running scared
Far from home
And he wakes up
From a nightmare
He's in another one
He's still not home

They call 'em decorated heroes
And pin some medals on their chest
Give 'em a tiny little pension
Could we do much less

Brad Paisley
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
John Fogerty
They ship you out to die for us
Forget about you when you don't
Brad Paisley
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
John Fogerty
They ship you out to die for us
Brad Paisley
Forget about you when you don't
John Fogerty
They say all is fair in Love and War
But that ain't true, it's wrong
They ship you out to die for us
But forget about you when you don't
