Soldier Boy (Album Version)

Soldier Boy (Album Version) - Mason Jennings

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

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

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
