Veteran Fighter Songtext
von Joe Pug

You see the moon in the mirror tonight
As you put it on to 35 South.
You got a lot upon your mind tonight,
And so you took a ride to figure it out.

The years went by
Like strangers that you might
Have recognized
If they didn′t walk away into the waiting night.

Don't back down yet;
It′ll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.

Don't back down yet;
It'll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.


You see your baby in the stars tonight
As you pull it onto 35 South.
You know she wonders where you are tonight
And whether you could ever turn it around.

Been awhile
Since you could hold her hand.
She′s so kind
She smiles and says she understands.

Don′t back down yet;
It'll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.

Don′t back down yet;
It'll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.

Don′t back down yet
It'll get brighter
Stand your ground like a veteran figher
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.


Don′t back down yet;
It'll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.

Don't back down yet;
It′ll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.

Don′t back down yet;
It'll get brighter.
Stand your ground like a veteran figher;
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now.
