Crazy Old Soldier Lyrics

I’ve had fame and fortune Women come knock on my door I’ve live to the limit maybe a little bit more There are so many stories of how I got out of control Some say it’s a woman Some say it’s my trouble soul I’m like a crazy old solider fightin’ a war on my own Just me and the whiskey And the bottles are ten thousand strong You’d think I’d give up as many times as I’ve been hit But like a crazy old soldier I just don’t know when to quit Barrooms and bedrooms Are just faces and places and names Once for the pleasure And Lord knows once for the pain I’ve tried to forget her And all of the things that we’ve done But as long as there are memories I’ll never hang up my gun I’m like a crazy old solider Fightin’ a war on my own Just me and the whiskey And the bottles are ten thousand strong You’d think I’d give up As many times as I’ve been hit But like crazy old solider I just don’t know when to quit Like a crazy old solider I just don’t know when to quit
