Traveling Soldier Got My Mind On the Lord

I'm just a wayward soldier, traveling
I'm just a wayward soldier, traveling
from fields and lands open meadows and farms
cities and towns country's  and..
traveling soldier who's got your back up against the walls
Traveling soldier who's got your back when your up against the walls
And who traveling soldier military giant whose about too, about to fall
your gonna fall now. . 
Unless you got God on your side now;
Who you gonna, who ya gonna Call now traveling soldier, soldier

In the trenches is your marker are you dead, now
Fought in battle did it matter did you live, now
When the rockets and mortars were flying over you all, all over you

And who traveling soldier military giant whose about too, about to fall
your gonna fall now. . 
Unless you got God on your side now;
Who you gonna, who ya gonna Call now traveling soldier, soldier

Who you gonna cry too
Who you gonna die for
Who you gonna believe in now
Traveling soldier it's Jesus my Lord God comes shining through
Lift Him up and He will bring you through now, like  He did for David and the others. . . soldier

Traveling soldier

Traveling soldier whose life you gonna rely on
Combat soldier riding the terrains in the streets of disorder
Who you gonna call now
Who you gonna cry too
 When a bullet rips through you
Who ya gonna believe now

I'm just a wayward soldier, traveling
I'm just a wayward soldier, traveling
from fields and lands open meadows and farms
cities and towns country's  and..
traveling soldier who's got your back up against the walls
Traveling soldier who's got your back when your up against the walls
And who traveling soldier military giant whose about too, about to fall
your gonna fall now. . 
Unless you got God on your side now;
Who you gonna, who ya gonna Call now traveling soldier, soldier

Traveling soldier it's Jesus my Lord God comes shining through
Traveling soldier He's is here and He's there (everywhere)
He's everywhere just keeping your mind on Him
He'll see you through
Who you gonna ask for
Traveling soldier got my mind on the Lord
Who you gonna ask for , Jesus who ya gonna pray to the Lord, God
Traveling soldier got my mind on the Lord as I pray for you
