There's a place no light creeps in
Leaves don't fall and the
Yesterday's all pile and fade
Love and pain seems just the same
There's a place that I've been to
Had so much but don't have you
Creeps just rise in the gutters first
Thunder really shakes the dust
How'd you make it a cold hard war?
I'm caring less about the weekends now
Who's in or isn't in the crowd
It don't matter what town I'm in
with the places you've been
I'm on the back roads like a bootlegger
Hugging every curb with the high beams on
I can't take another night alone
How'd you make a cold hard war?
How'd you make it a cold hard war?
I pulled up and parked the car
I had the only windows without door
Silently, I turned the key
And I stumbled across the dark living
How'd you make a cold hard war?
How'd you make it a cold hard war?
