Three Soldiers Lyrics

Three 13 year old soldiers

That’s what we thought we were

It was always us against the outside world

A stronger bond than brothers

Even when we hurt

Yeah nothing came between us

Til time it came between us and split us up

We saw less of each other

As the years they ticked along

I heard that Dave had moved up to Sydney with his mum

Jimmy stayed round local

While me I headed west

And I got into some trouble

It was always me in trouble, unlike the rest

I never found new friends as I grew up

I searched in every bottle and every cup

I never had friends like I did

When I was a little kid

And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one

I found out Dave got married

And Jimmy got real sick

But they caught pretty early luckily

I just hit twelve months sober

I thought of reaching out

Would they even recognise me?

Man, I barely recognise who I am now

Three 13 year old soldiers

That’s what we thought we were

It was always us against the outside world
