"Soldier Boy" lyrics - JOHNNY CASH

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

Here comes the boy in a dark green suit
Size 11 combat boots
He can run and he can shoot
He's got a gun that goes a root, toot, toot

Here's comes the 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 sailing out to sea
Boys on deck for all to see
Wavin' bye to you and me
Keep the land and the water free

[Chorus:]
Solider boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' boy
You won't be a boy no more after what you're going for
And all you women, thanks to you, doing what you have to do
Praying for you till you're through
Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo

[Bridge:]
Here comes the boy with the backpack on
He's going anywhere but home
Be some changes while he's gone
He's got a job to carry on

[Chorus:]
Solider boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' 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
Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo
