War Is Hell (On The Home Front Too)

In the style of

T.G. Sheppard

Lyrics

it was july
hot in georgia
in 1942

all the men
were off to war
and the women
had nothin' to do

i was sixteen
and hungry
lookin' for my
first taste of love

when i brought
the groceries
to her door
i didn't know
how close i was

her long blonde hair
was flowin'
and she smelled
like sweet perfume

when i laid
the groceries down
she said
you don't have
to leave so soon

a woman
sure gets lonely
when her man's
gone off to fight

she reached out
for my tremblin' hand
as teardrops
filled her eyes
then she said

war is hell
on the home front too
god only knows
what a woman
goes through
she still needs
what a man
who's gone can't do

i can't fight
this fire alone
stay with me
until it's gone
ooh war is hell
on the home front too

it was july hot
inside me
as she led me
to her bedroom door
with satin sheets
and pleasures
i never knew
i'd feel before

my first taste of lovin'
was everything
it should have been
when a woman's
fightin' loneliness
it's a battle
she can't win

i'll always remember
what she did
and what she said
but the one thing
i remember most
was the way
she turned
his picture over

face down
on the table
by her bed
and how she said

war is hell
on the home front too
god only knows
what a woman
goes through
she still needs
what a man
who's gone can't do

i can't fight
this fire alone
stay with me
until it's gone
ooh war is hell
on the home front too

war is hell
on the home front too
god only knows
what a woman
goes through
she still needs
what a man
who's gone can't do

i can't fight
this fire alone
stay with me
until it's gone
ooh war is hell
on the home front too

war is hell
on the home front too
god only knows
what a woman
goes through
she still needs
what a man
who's gone can't do

i can't fight
this fire alone
stay with me
until it's gone
ooh war is hell
on the home front too
