Joe Brooks - Six String Soldier Lyrics
This is the story of a six string soldierDown in the trenches six years bolderSleeve bloody from the heart he’s worn thereBut the valley gives the mountain such a sweeter taste in my mouthIs so much louder than my thoughts andI won’t take my foot from the door standUp with your weapons of war‘Cause the man is going downOh oh, you and me can goSo, oh, famously you knowLike Lennon and OnoExcept with out the loco ohLa la, who cares what you are?Ah, ah, I’m no superstarBut with this weapon on my shoulderI’ll be your six string soldierThis is the glory of a boyhood pipe dreamTo wear a crown and make the girls screamTongue hungry for some more of that sweet teaBut the days of taking it easy for the honey could come back with a stingAnd I swear to go farSo watch out‘Cause the man is singing nowOh oh, you and me can goSo, oh, famously you knowLike Lennon and OnoExcept with out the loco ohLa la, who cares what you are?Ah, ah, I’m no superstarBut with this weapon on my shoulderI’ll be your six string soldierThough my heart is breaking nowYou know I’ll be back in townAnd this love it will restoreMuch finer than beforeThis thing is hugeIt’s just the beginning of something newIt’s the start of me andOh oh, you and me can goSo, oh, famously you knowLike Lennon and OnoExcept with out the loco ohLa la, who cares what you are?Ah, ah, I’m no superstarBut with this weapon on my shoulderI’ll be your six string soldier
