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
