A Girl Worth Fighting For
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For a long time we've been marching off to battle
In a thundering herd, we feel a lot like cattle
Like the pounding beet, our aching feet aren't easy to ignore
Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for
That's what I said, a girl worth fighting for
I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars
[Incomprehensible] my strength, adore my battle scars
I couldn't care what she'll wear or looks like
It all depends on what she cooks like, beef, pork, chicken
Bet the local girls think you are quite the charmer
And I bet the ladies love a man in armor
You can guess what we have missed the most since we went off to war
What do we want, a girl worth fighting for
My girl will think I have no faults that I'm a major find
Uh, how 'bout a girl who's got a brain who always thinks her mind?
Nah
My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her
He thinks he's such a lady killer
Have a girl back home who's unlike any other
Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother
But when we come home in victory they'll line up the door
What do we want? A girl worth fighting for
Wish that I had, a girl worth fighting for
A girl worth fighting
