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}
