Lyrics:

On a train to Pittsburg I lost you on the way to nothin left on the back of a three-wheeled bus and I don't know what my lungs will say to this but I came here for a reason and I ain't stoppin now no way no how 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield and anyone who's anyone knows it ain't real on the back of your picture I wrote a prayer to God to make me whole again and then I took a great big breath I don't remember what happened next or anything from now to then but I came here with a purpose and I ain't stoppin now now way no how 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield and anyone who's anyone knows it ain't real I've tried everything I know to try still I ain't the man I used to wanna be so I throw my hands up in the sky and I try to find a better way to see still I came here with a reason and I ain't stoppin now no way no how 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield 'cause life ain't no battlefield and anyone who's anyone knows it ain't real
