If my man was fightin'
Some unholy war
I would be behind him
Straight shook up beside him
With strength he didn't know
It's you I'm fightin' for
He can't lose with me in tow (with me in tow)
I refuse to let him go (to let him go)
At his side and drunk on pride
We wait for the blow

Put it in writin'
But who you writin' for?
Just us on kitchen floor
Justice done
Recitin', my stomach standin' still
Like you're readin' my will
He still stands in spite of what his scars say (scars say)
And I'll battle till this bitter finale (bitter finale)
Just me, my dignity and this guitar case, whoa, whoa

If, if my man is fightin' some unholy war
And I will stand beside you
But who you dyin' for?
B, I would have died too
I'd have liked to
If my man was fightin'
Some unholy war
Yeah, if my man was fightin'
