The Best Revenge

I knew you in the trenches
In a war we couldn’t win
We were loggin’ miles
But we were losing inches
On a fuse without an end

And we could talk about it;
The joy and the tears
We could talk about the blood
And you’d smile and doubt it
When I say my greatest hope
Was my greatest fear

Is that you live well
And that you live to tell
The story of your ups and downs
And why I don’t see you around

It’s a hard sell in a living hell
I’m so mad that I could choke!
Here is hopin’ that you live well

We lost the best of us
Face down in the rain
Memory's a tricky thing
And it seems so senseless
That the blood would leave a stain

When we get together
Over a couple beers
We’d remember the bond
How we were tied and tethered
And how my greatest hope
Became my greatest fear

That you live well
And that you live to tell
The story of your ups and downs
And why I don’t see you around

It’s a hard sell in a living hell
I’m so mad that I could choke!
Here is hopin’ that you live well

The war is over
And we made it home
This ain’t no ticker-tape parade
But I still hear voices
That come in soft and low
That whisper about the mistakes I’ve made

Even after all this toil
Even after all these years
Even after looking you in the eye
And watching you die
My greatest hope is still my greatest fear

Is that you live well
And that you live to tell
The story of your ups and downs
And why I don’t see you around

It’s a hard sell in a living hell
I’m so mad that I could choke!
Here is hopin’ that you live well
Well!
So well!
Live so well!
