I wanna be in the cavalry war
I wanna be in the cavalry war Boots in the dust by
the morning door
A name on a jacket,
a song to keep
A promise I carry and lose no sleep
I wanna be in the cavalry war Ride where the iron horses
roar
If I go down,
let the whole town know
I gave my heart where the hard winds blow
Letters get thin when the nights run long Still I keep time
with a stubborn song
Smoke on the ridge and the bugle call I stand up straight
when the old fears crawl If the sky turns black,
I won't turn back If the ground gives way,
I'll still hold fast For the ones I love,
for the oath I swore
I wanna be in the cavalry war Ride where the iron horses
roar
If I go down,
let the whole town know
I gave my heart where the hard winds blow
I wanna be in the cavalry war
I wanna be in the cavalry war
