Travelin' Soldier |
| Two days past eighteen |
| She was waiting for the bus in her army green |
| Sat down in a booth in a cafe nearby |
| Gave her order to a guy with a thin black tie |
| She’s a little shy so he give her a smile |
| So she said, would you mind sittin' down for a while |
| And talking to me, I’m feeling a little low |
| He said, I’m off in an hour and I know where we can go |
| So they went down and they sat on the pier |
| She said, I bet you got a girlfriend but I don’t care |
| I got no one to send a letter to |
| Would you mind if I sent one back here to you |
| I cried |
| Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| Too young for him they told her |
| Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| Our love will never end |
| Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| A soldier’s coming home |
| So the letters came once a week at least |
| From Oklahoma then the Middle East |
| And she told him of her heart |
| It might be love and all of the things she was so scared of |
| She said, when it’s getting kinda rough over here |
| I think of that day sittin' down at the pier |
| And I close my eyes and see your handsome smile |
| Don’t worry but I won’t be able to write for a while |
| I cried |
| Never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| Too young for him they told her |
| Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| Our love will never end |
| Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| A soldier’s coming home |
| One Friday night at a football game |
| The Lord’s Prayer said and the anthem sang |
| A man said folks would you bow your head |
| For the list of local ARMY dead |
| Crying all alone under the stands |
| Was the piccolo player in the marching band |
| And one name read and nobody really cried |
| But a single guy with a thin black tie |
| I cried |
| You never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| Too young for him they told her |
| Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| Our love will never end |
| Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| A soldier’s coming home |
| I cried |
| You never gonna hold the hand of another guy |
| Too young for him they told her |
| Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier |
| Our love will never end |
| Waitin' for the soldier to come back again |
| Never more to be alone when the letter says |
| A soldier’s coming home |
