That’s your brothers lying on the table
You’d blame them but you’ve not been able
Can’t stand around and watch you pour eyes out
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
2nd verse
Thanks for nothing you’ve got me confounded
Watch, the enemy got you surrounded
Don’t wait around unless you want to join them
Runnin through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
Chorus
You gotta live a little life
You gotta give a little little smile
You gotta love a little life
You gotta give a little little time.
3rd Verse
You’ll catch the bullet if you’ve turned your mind on
What direction do you think the line’s on
Don’t think aloud you might just give your game up
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
4th Verse
Send for cover from those desperados
Leave the whiskey hiding in the shadows
Don’t hang around unless they’re playing your song
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
Chorus
5th Verse
Cheers, your daddy he got you invited
What’s the point in getting all excited?
Don’t hurry home cos he aint got his arms wide
Run through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
6th Verse
Thanks for nothing you’ve got me confounded
Watch, the enemy got you surrounded
Don’t wait around unless you want to join them
Runnin through your mind just a lonely little soldier.
