lyrics
If you spend enough time somewhere
It becomes your home
I never meant to live behind that payphone
It's easy to feed a family when you're alone
But sometimes I still wonder where things would've gone
If it wasn't for the war
I'd have more than just a couple friends
If it wasn't for the war
I could guess how this story ends
If it wasn't for the war
I'd be bound to a nine-to-five to keep me alive
If it wasn't for the war
If you spend enough money on something
It becomes your love
Lucky for me, the world never got a dime
It's funny how you feel you never have enough
But I've been scraping by and I'm doing fine
When I learned what I deserved
Because of what I'd done
I chose instead this life of solitude
And if I had the chance to start it all
All over again
I'd go back and change my life for you
