^D I was born on a ^G railroad track
With the ^D weight of the world strapped ^A to my back
^D Born to be a ^G soldier boy, ^D born to be a ^A soldier boy
^D Looking for a life in a ^G graveyard town
If you ^D never get lost, you ^A never get found
^D Born to be a ^G soldier boy, ^D born to be a ^A soldier boy
^D Born to be a ^G soldier boy, ^D born to be a ^A soldier boy
^{D G D A}
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
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
(End song on D)
