More Love Than War

[Verse 1]
Bad on the gas, good on the back burner
Wreckin' ball pride on my flannel sleeve
Short fuse, headstrong, wrong way turner
Livin' in a world that revolved around me
Those old boots don't fit no more
I find myself livin' for

[Chorus]
A little more now than later
Little more giver than taker
Little more open arms, little less slammin' doors
Little more "Yeah, you're right" than sticks and stones
Little more leavin' well enough alone
Any fight left in me's all about fightin' for
A little more love than war

[Verse 2]
Ring on her finger, bun in the oven
Paintin' walls pink instead of paintin' towns red
Sendin' prayers to the sky instead of hot-air cussin'
Keepin' that good wolf fed
Countin' every blessin' I get

[Chorus]
A little more now than later
Little more giver than taker
Little more open arms, little less slammin' doors
Little more "Yeah, you're right" than sticks and stones
Little more leavin' well enough alone
Any fight left in me's all about fightin' for
A little more love than war

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, a little more love
Mm

[Bridge]
Just tryin' to keep the old me out of my way
Do a little better, ruffle less feathers these days

[Chorus]
Be a little more now than later
Little more giver than taker
Little more open arms, little less slammin' doors
Little more "Yeah, you're right" than sticks and stones
Little more leavin' well enough alone
Any fight left in me's all about fightin' for
A little more love than war
A little more love than war

[Outro]
A little more love
Mm, yeah
