Carolines Spine - Solider's Song lyrics

I just got my first letter since I’ve been here

And I’ve read it hundred times since yesterday

It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear

And it promised me there were more on the way

More were on the way

‘You see I’m a solider boy

Standing on top of mountains

And these snowy peaks thou beautiful

Try to freeze me to the bone

There are some many things that I worry about

Cause I’m fifteen thousand miles away from my home

And it warms my father to be proud of me

And I hope my momma can’t feel me cry

And it warms my friends to think I’m a hero

And I want God to make sure that I don’t die

You’ve gotta make sure I don’t

This is the way it is when your where I’m from

I come from a long rich legacy

Of people posing with flags and guns

The man says I’ve got so much of this world too learn about

Oh, and this might be my only way out

So it warms my father to be proud of me

And I hope my momma can’t feel me cry

And I want my friends to think I’m a hero

And I want God to make sure that I don’t die

You gotta make sure I don’t

You gotta make sure I don’t

I just got my first letter since I’ve been here

And I’ve read it hundred times since yesterday

It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear

And it promised me there were more on the way

More were on the way

More were on the way

More were on the way
