Ain't Much of a Soldier Lyrics

Hello darling can you hear me
From this far across the sea?
It's your soldier boy a-calling
To my darling Anna Lee
I've been thinking about you sugar
You've been in my dreams, you see?
I've been dreaming of your eyes
From what's left of memory

CHORUS:
Wish you could see this sunrise
It's the sweetest thing I've seen
Since I left your smile last winter
When we were just eighteen

Don't wanna die for this country
I'd rather die for you anyday
Guess I ain't much of a soldier
Hope you'll love me anyway

I'm a long, long way from Kansas
It's pretty plain to see
Never seen so many good men fall
I'm as scared as I can be
I don't wanna kill nobody
I'm just doing what I'm told
They promised me glory
Like they promised me gold

CHORUS

Do you remember the carnival?
Do you remember the lake?
Do you remember that one night
Man, what a mistake
Do you remember my touch
Cause I remember yours
I'd rather fight the daylight
Than fight another man's war

I want to come home to you
But I know my chance is small
You may find another
You may not miss me at all

But if you ever get this letter
Please, love me just the same
Cause if there's one thing I've learned,
It's that I'm a p*** in this game
Just a p*** in their game

CHORUS
