Little Soldier

And you were getting ready this morning
Teeth brushed and hair done
The closet walk took only three minutes 
Sewing the laces loop to loop
And I swear this time
The movie was watched from the sheets and the pillows
You could have tipped me over
And I'll hold this clover forever 
This deserves a record book qualification 
I'm crawling through this tiny hole
Be a good little soldier 
Put that backpack over your shoulder
This isn't another children story
Kiss the cross
We haven't yet won
The mystery is history
Never will this be a loss
And you sure did look like fun
No none
Build a fire and climb me higher
There is a tickle in my bones
I can't forget the telephone
Roll the letters down
This town is spent
It's time to chase the ground
