I was born on a railroad track
D A
With the weight of the world strapped to my back

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

If you never get lost, you never get found

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 a soldier boy

Now my mind still works, but it's not the same

My Daddy was done before he turned nineteen
D A
My Momma was run like a fast machine

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
