Soldier Boy

Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
If you never get lost, you never get found

Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
She broke my heart with my best friend's name
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Either they're blind or they just don't know
I fell in love with an impossible girl
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo

Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky

Born to be a soldier boy, born to be soldier boy
So many people wanna watch things grow
My daddy was done before he turned nineteen
She was my breath in this strangled world
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Looking for a life in a graveyard town

Now my mind still works, but it's not the same
My momma was run like a fast machine

Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Like an aeroplane, baby, coming out of the sky
