Soldier

He was a soldier
He always was
He left this city to fight for America
And we fell in love to music
We were just kids
We didn't have time to be sorry for what we did
And I say
CHORUS:
Hey boy, what you're crying for?
It'll be OK in the end
And if this life doesn't give you the love you expect
There's always the next
She was a pretty Texas girl
An answer to his prayers
He called me to tell me he'd fallen in love with her
She sang like an angel
Loved like a friend
And she made my soldier believe he could live again
When she said
CHORUS
So I'll be a gambler
And he'll be home free
He'll marry Texas and I'll marry melody
So love like my soldier
Fight for what's true
And smile at the gates cause their hate doesn't belong
to you
CHORUS (2x)
If this life doesn't give you the love you expect
There's always the next (2x)
