Jake Tankersley - The War (Official Video)

Listen Here! https://ffm.to/kw6v9ov Follow Me Here! https://ffm.bio/mmlnjxm Lyrics: In the backroom of granddad‘s Farmhouse There was an old Chest with a rusted latch And locked inside it, I never knew what He never told me and I never asked. One day when he was gone, I found the key And curiosity got the best of me. There was a black-and-white photo from 1943 of a young teenage soldier who looked a lot like me. There was an old service pistol with notches on the side and a helmet with a bullet hole from the day he almost died. There was a jar filled with sand from some distant blood stained shore. I’ll never forget the day I found where granddad hid the war. At the bottom of that old chest laid some letters tied in twine. One said Johnny I think I love you. One said Ruby will you be mine, if I survive this war will you marry me? If it wasn’t for those words I might have never seen. This was a black-and-white photo from 1943 of a young teenage soldier who looked a lot like me. This old service pistol with notches on the side and a helmet with a bullet hole from the day he almost died. This jar filled with sand from some distant blood stained shore. I’ll never forget the day I found where granddad hid the war. Well the day they laid him down in that soldiers grave they handed me the flag and walked away. I already knew before I got home there was only one place where that flag belonged Next to that black-and-white photo from 1943 of a young teenage soldier who looked a lot like me and that old service pistol with notches on the side and a helmet with a bullet hole from the day he almost died. And that jar filled with sand from some distant blood stained shore. I’ll never forget the day I found where granddad hid the war. In the backroom of granddad’s Farmhouse there was an old chest with a rusted latch. #thewar #memorialday #memorialdayweekend
