Captain Jack’s third single, released May 30, 1996. This track contains a noticeably more “summer/island” feel than the previous singles, which would soon become a staple of Captain Jack’s music.
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
I'm here for you in every town
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
I'm here for you in every town
Mama told Mary
Not to go downtown
Too many lovely boys hanging around
Mary didn't listen, she went anyway
There she met a boy
Who took her away
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
I'm here for you in every town
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
(Soldier, soldier, don't look down)
There's no six-pack on the ground
(There's no six-pack on the ground)
Soldier, soldier, don't look up
(Soldier, soldier, don't look up)
There's no whore gonna pick you up
(There's no whore gonna pick you up)
Mama is worried
And she gets real loud
'Cause soldiers are a dirty crowd
Don't be mad, I love him so
It's my life and I have to go
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
I'm here for you in every town
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
(Soldier, soldier, don't look down)
There's no six-pack on the ground
(There's no six-pack on the ground)
Soldier, soldier, don't look up
(Soldier, soldier, don't look up)
There's no whore gonna pick you up
(There's no whore gonna pick you up)
Three months later all was well
In my dreams
I hear the wedding bells
Sixth months later all was done
We had a little son
We are having fun
Mama, don't think twice
Soldiers can be nice
Soldier, soldier, don't look down
(Soldier, soldier, don't look down)
There's no six-pack on the ground
(There's no six-pack on the ground)
Soldier, soldier, don't look up
(Soldier, soldier, don't look up)
There's no whore gonna pick you up
(There's no whore gonna pick you up)
