Girl In the War - Josh Ritter cover. Performed by Robert Haigh

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 gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
I got a girl in the war Paul the only thing I know to do
Is to turn up the music and pray that she makes it through
Because the keys to the Kingdom got locked 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 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 gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
I got a girl in the war Paul her eyes are like champagne
They sparkle bubble over in the morning all you get is rain
They sparkle bubble over in the morning all you get is rain

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it, and I've been singing it for a number of years now. I finally decided to put my solo acoustic version on RUclips.
