Mason Jennings - Soldier Boy lyrics
[Mason Jennings - Soldier Boy lyrics]
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
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
