She's sleeping with soldiers To conquer her boredom Loves the live to die tattoo So what if he hits her Probably kills her Painting it red black and blue He's a real tough cookie He's a green beret Lives and dies by the sword Likes his women in heat Treats 'em like meat Everyone but his sister's a whore *chorus* I wanna be an airborne ranger Live a life of sex and danger Oh I'm sleeping with soldiers Out with the boys In Idaho Falls With his fist in her face And his fist in the walls Says life ain't worth a shit If you haven't got the balls And a shirt that says death from above She's out with the girls She's avoiding the stares At the scar on her face From the fall down the stairs She's covered with bruises She really don't care She sleeps with a soldier she loves Chorus Sometimes when a woman loves a man Find it hard to understand How someone she loves Would put her through so much pain Sometimes you've got somebody you love There's no help from above No way out of a desperate violent situation I love my man He loves me We don't have many friends We're our own company The priest down the road The only other man I see I can't leave the husband I love Some say our marriage is On the skids Cause he drinks a little And beats up the kids It's not any worse than my dad Ever did I can't leave the man I love
