It's the same old story that I've heard 10 times before You're sending your love to war With a doctor and a locked up door You only learned to pack it up a year ago at the corner store Where the bandage made your blood run boiled And you're running cause you're so hardcore Chours: And all the ladies dance and swoon To the tango tune By the big pi moon? Oh while your brothers warn each other with their lavish lyric tunes Oh lover never loved me though I do And said the doctor to your heart you never ever should have come so far You couldn't blame it on your new guitar You wouldn't play it at the whisky bar And it's been 24 years running up and down the wrong side of The streets you lived on were not made for love Write a letter, send a war cry dove CHORUS Yes I do have your picture in my car Where I dream that I'm driving fast and far And I do want you badly like I said so Oh whoa when I dreamed how I loved you soft and slow But never mind the invitation it was all a form of so and so And we've both had enough of stop and go And now you wish you'd never said hello Until we're back into the station where the radio is blaring on And all the war brides sing their soldiers songs The night is sure dear but the love is long CHORUS
