It's hard to argue with a bulletproof vest
'Cause you can't walk straight with a bullet in your chest
Another man down with a flag to fold
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold

Two tours served never once has he cried
The same can't be said for his brand new bride
Bills pile up with no hand to hold

Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
Yeah, It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold

Mmmm, mmm, mmm

Looking at the pictures up on the shelf
He feels a mere shadow of himself
22 years still he feels so old

It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
