I'm a runaway soldier who rode into the sunset The load on my shoulders, the weight of my regrets Every promise abounds with good intention But you never noticed, you turned your back And in the end, I lost a friend I'm a soldier in a losing battle Because you'll never come around again You kept me a captive and held my heart as ransom I feared your devotion 'cause you only hurt me more Your golden revolver was shot in my direction A bullet to shatter a loyal man And in the end, I lost a friend I'm a soldier in a losing battle Because you'll never come around again I wonder What it is we're fighting for I didn't want to start a war And break our love in two I wonder Why you had to gun me down Why you chose to burn this out And leave me up in flames And in the end, I lost a friend I'm a soldier in a losing battle Because you'll never come around again
