He was a soldier
He always was
He left his city to fight for America
And we fell in love to music
We were just kids
We didn`t have time to be sorry for what we did
And I said hey, boy
What you crying for?
It`ll be okay in the end
And if this life doesn`t give you the love you expect
There`s always the next
She was a pretty Texas girl
An answer to his prayers
He called me to tell me he`d fallen in love with her
She sang like an angel (aaahhh)
Loved like a friend
She made my soldier believe he could live again
When she said hey, boy
What you crying for?
It`ll be okay in the end
And if this life doesn`t give you the love you expect
There`s always the next
So I`ll be a gambler
And he`ll be home free
And he`ll marry Texas and I`ll marry melody
So love like my soldier
Fight for what`s true
And smile at the gates cuz their hate don`t belong to you
And I said hey, boy
What you crying for?
It`ll be okay in the end
And if this life doesn`t give you the love you expect
There`s always the next
Hey, boy
What you crying for?
It`ll be okay in the end
And if this life doesn`t give you the love you expect
There`s always the next
