Soldier Songtext

von Anna Nalick

He was a soldier, he always was
He left his 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

Chorus:
And I said:
“Hey boy, what you’re crying for?
It’ll be okay 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
The answer to his prayers
He called me to tell me
He’d fallen in love with her.
She sang like an angel, ahhh…
Loved like a friend
She made my soldier
Believe he could live again

Chorus:
When she said:
“Hey boy, what you’re crying for?
It’ll be okay in the end. Ahhh…
And if this life
Doesn’t give you the love you expect,
There’s always the next.”

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 don’t belong to you

2x Chorus

“If this life
Doesn’t give you the love you expect
There’s always the next
There’s always the next”
