I can feel the heat on this Texas street Burnin holes in the soles of my shoes Surrounded by men in darkened dens Communin with bottles of booze Theres a picture of you at twentytwo In the breast pocket of my coat I turn it over when Im not sober And shed tears to the words you wrote I said open your eyes Raise your fists Show me that were worth More than this I know it aint easy But its worth fightin for Love aint a battle Its an AllOut War This old guitar carries the scars Of a thousand bar room nights My fingers thy trace the lines on hr face As she sings neath the fluorescent lights I cradle each word like a newborn bird Fallen from the nest I was too blind to see you had to be free Or else be laid to rest I said open your eyes Raise your fists Show me that were worth More than this I know it aint easy But its worth fightin for Love aint a battle Its an AllOut War Been chasin my breath since the day you left Twelve long years ago Its the snap of the bone as the blade finds its home Where love once flourished and flowed Ive know the sacrifice of a reclusive vice Though many an angel has tried If you asked me today Id just have to say I guess that Im doin alright I said open your eyes Raise your fists Show me that were worth More than this I know it aint easy But its worth fightin for Love aint a battle Its an AllOut War
