Six String Soldier

(album: The Boy & The Broken Machine - 2013)

This is the story of a six string soldier
Down in the trenches six years bolder
Sleeve bloody from the heart he's worn there
But the valley gives the mountain such a sweeter taste in my mouth

Is so much louder than my thoughts and
I won't take my foot from the door stand
Up with your weapons of war
'Cause the man is going down

Oh oh, you and me can go
So, oh, famously you know
Like Lennon and Ono
Except with out the loco oh

La la, who cares what you are?
Ah, ah, I'm no superstar
But with this weapon on my shoulder
I'll be your six string soldier

This is the glory of a boyhood pipe dream
To wear a crown and make the girls scream
Tongue hungry for some more of that sweet tea
But the days of taking it easy for the honey could come back with a sting

And I swear to go far
So watch out
'Cause the man is singing now

Oh oh, you and me can go
So, oh, famously you know
Like Lennon and Ono
Except with out the loco oh

La la, who cares what you are?
Ah, ah, I'm no superstar
But with this weapon on my shoulder
I'll be your six string soldier

Though my heart is breaking now
You know I'll be back in town
And this love it will restore
Much finer than before

This thing is huge
It's just the beginning of something new
It's the start of me and

Oh oh, you and me can go
So, oh, famously you know
Like Lennon and Ono
Except with out the loco oh

La la, who cares what you are?
Ah, ah, I'm no superstar
But with this weapon on my shoulder
I'll be your six string soldier
