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
[Припев:] And I said hey boy Whatchya cryin' 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 The 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 aain When she said
[Припев:] And I said hey boy Whatchya cryin' 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
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
[Припев:] And I said hey boy Whatchya cryin' 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
