Original by Josh Ritter

lyrics

Peter said to Paul, "You know, all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go
But now talking to God is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done"

Paul said to Peter, "You got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
"But I got a girl in the war, Paul, the only thing I know to do
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through"

Because the keys to the kingdom got lost inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can’t see them
I got a girl in the war, Paul, I know that they can hear me yell
If they can’t find a way to help her, they can go to hell
If they can’t find a way to help her, they can go to hell"

Paul said to Peter, "You got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
"But I got a girl in the war, Paul, her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain
They sparkle, bubble over and, in the morning, all you got is rain"
