D G
I was born on a railroad track
D A
With the weight of the world strapped to my back
D G D A
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

D G
Looking for a life in a graveyard town
D A
If you never get lost, you never get found
D G D A
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
D G D A
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be 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

We go... {I don't feel like writing out all the onomatopoeias he uses}

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... {onomatopoeias}

(End song on D)
