I'm a white man living in a white man's world
And under our roof is a baby girl
I thought this world could be hers one day
But her mama knew better
I'm a white man living in a white man's town
I want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down
Mama want to change that Nashville sound
But they're never gonna let her
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
You're still breathing, it's not too late
We're all carrying one great burden, sharing one thing
And I'm a white man living in a white man's town
I'm a white man living on a white man's street
I got the bones of the red man under my feet
The highway runs through the burial ground
Past the oceans of cotton
I'm a white man looking in a black man's eye
And I'm wishing I'd never been one of the guys
Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke
Old times ain't forgotten
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for




You're still breathing, it's not too late
You're all carrying one great burden, sharing one thing
And I'm a white man living on a white man's street
There's no such thing as someone else's war
It's simple, wearing nothing good

There's no such thing as someone else's war
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
There's no such thing as someone else's war
It's simple, wearing nothing good
There's just simply none of them worth fighting for
I'm a white man living in a white man's nation
I think the men upstairs must have took a vacation
I still have faith but I don't know why
Maybe it's the fire in a little girl's eye
Maybe it's the fire in a little girl's eye
