[Verse 1]
He’s got a corner lot on Dogwood Drive
A year-old truck and a nine to five
Comes home at night to a pretty wife
With a baby due
He’ll sleep in on Saturday
Cut the grass if it don’t rain
After church he’ll watch the game and have a beer or two
He’ll stand up when he hears the anthem
And that won’t ever change

He’s still a soldier
His blood runs red, white, and blue
He put away his gun and boots
But he still believes the American dream
‘Til his last breath he’ll always be a soldier
He’s still a soldier

[Verse 2]
He’s on his couch for the news at ten
He’ll see those places that he’s been
And when a brother falls there’s a part of him that does too
And if they called and needed him back
Oh, he’d be on that plane

He’s still a soldier
His blood runs red, white, and blue
He put away his gun and boots
But he still believes the American dream
‘Til his last breath he’ll always be a soldier

He don’t wake up anymore
When he hears thunder
Oh, but even if he lives to be a hundred
He’ll still be a soldier

He’s still a soldier
He put away his gun and boots
But he still believes the American dream
‘Til his last breath he’ll always be a soldier
He’s still a soldier
He’s still a soldier

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:

VERSE:
I’m the last one standing’ every Saturday night
All the rights feel long, wrongs feel right
But every Sunday morning I see the light again

When I’m up on the wagon I’m a helluva saint
But I’ll be damned if there ain’t another town to paint
Just down the road man it’s a game that I can’t win.

CHORUS:
I need to find a little middle ground
Between let her rip and settling down
But I go from dry to drowned, lost to found
Stone cold sober to just plain stoned

Trying to live like my heroes did
Is the hardest kind of livin’ there is
Been a tug o’ war since I was a kid
Between Jesus and Jones.

VERSE:
I wish I could find a gear between
“White Lightning” and John 3:16
But girl I can’t promise anything right now

All I can say is I wanna change
And I’ll keep the faith that you’ll take the reins
And hold on tight and calm this crazy down.

CHORUS:
I need to find a little middle ground
Between let her rip and settling down
But I go from dry to drowned, lost to found
Stone cold sober to just plain stoned

Trying to live like my heroes did
Is the hardest kind of livin’ there is
Been a tug o’ war since I was a kid
Between Jesus and Jones.

CHORUS:
I need to find a little middle ground
Between let her rip and settling down
But I go from dry to drowned, lost to found
Stone cold sober to just plain stoned

Trying to live like my heroes did
Is the hardest kind of livin’ there is
Been a tug o’ war since I was a kid
Between Jesus and Jones.

Only Heaven knows where I fit in
Between Jesus and Jones.

OUTRO:
Yeah
Jesus and Jones.
Oh, everybody sing
Jesus and Jones.
Jesus and Jones.
Sing for Joyce a little
Jesus and Jones.
Sing for Jesus.
Sing for Jesus and Jones.
