David Allan Coe - Crazy Old Soldier lyrics

[Verse 1] Ive had fame and fortune And women come knock on my door I've lived 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 And some say, it's just my troubled soul [Chorus 1] Like a crazy old soldier Fighting a war on my own Just me and the whiskey And the bottles are ten thousand strong Why'd you think I'd give up? As many times as I've been hit But like a crazy old soldier I just didn't know when to quit [Verse 2] Bar rooms and bed rooms Just faces and places and names One's for the pleasure And lord knows, one's for the pain I've tried to forget her And all of the things that we've done But as long as there's memories I'll never hang up my guns [Chorus 2] Like a crazy old soldier Fighting a war on my own Just me and the whiskey And the bottles are ten thousand strong Why you know you'd think I'd give it all up? As many times as I've been hit But like a crazy old soldier I just don't know when to quit Like some crazy old soldier I never did know when to quit
