|
I was born on a railroad track |
|
With the weight of the world strapped to my back |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
Looking for a life in a graveyard town |
|
If you never get lost, you never get found |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
I fell in love with an impossible girl |
|
She was my breath in this strangled world |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be soldier boy |
|
She broke my heart with my best friend's name |
|
Now my mind still works, but it's not the same |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
|
So many people wanna watch things grow |
|
Either they're blind or they just don't know |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
My daddy was done before he turned nineteen |
|
My momma was run like a fast machine |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
So I cross my heart and |
|
I hope to die |
|
Like an aeroplane, baby, coming out of the sky |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy |
|
We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky |
|
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo |
