Soldier Boy - Johnny Cash Lyrics

Soldier Boy

Here comes a boy with a backpack on
He's goin' anywhere but home
He's some changes while he's gone
He's got a job to carry on

Here comes a boy in a dark green suit
Size eleven, combat boots
He can run and he can shoot
He's got a gun that goes ru-tu-tu
Here comes a jet with a tail of white
He'll be there before daylight
Got some wrongs to be made right
May not return but I think he might

Here comes a ship sailin' out to sea
Boys on deck for all to see
Wavin' by to you and me
Keep the land and the water free

Soldier boy, walkin' boy
Sailor boy and flyin' boy
You won't be no boy no more
After what you were goin' for

And all you women thanks to you
Doin' what you have to do
Prayin' for you till you through
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Here comes a boy with a backpack on
He's goin' anywhere but home
There'll be some changes while he's gone
He's got a job to carry on

Soldier boy, walking boy
Sailor boy and flying boy
You won't be no boy no more
After what you're going for

And all you women, here's to you
Doing what you have to do
Peace because of all of you
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
