Travelin' Soldier Lyrics - Home - Dixie Chicks

Two days past eighteen 

He was waiting for the bus in his army green 

Sat down in a booth in a café there 

Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair 

He's a little shy so she give him a smile 

And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while 

And talkin' to me, I'm feeling a little lonely 

She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go 

So they went down and they sat on the pier 

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care 

I've 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 gonna be alone when the letter said 

A soldier's coming home 

So the letters came from an army camp 

In California then Vietnam 

And he told her of his heart 

It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of 

He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here 

I think of that day sittin' down at the pier 

And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile 

Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile 

I cried 

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy 

Photos 

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 said 

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 heads 

For a listed local Vietnam dead 

Crying all alone under the stands 

Was a piccolo player in the marching band 

And one name read and nobody really cared 

But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair 

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 gonna be alone when the letter says 

A soldier's coming home 

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 gonna be alone when the letters says 

A soldier's coming home
