Traveling Soldier
Two days past eighteen/he was waiting for the bus in his army greens/Sat down in a booth in a cafe there/gave his orders to a girl with a bow in her hair/Hes a little shy so she gives him a smile/and he said would you mind sitting down for a while/and talking to me, im feeling a little low/she said im 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 dont 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/Waiting for the love of a traveling soldier/Our love will never end/waiting for the soldier to come back again/never more to be alone when the letter said/ A soldiers 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 scared of/ he said when its getting kinda rough over here/i think of the day sitting down at the pier/and i close my eyes and see your pretty smile/dont worry but i wont be able to write for a while/ I cried/Never gonna hold the hand of another guy/Too young for him they told her/Waiting for the love of a traveling soldier/Our love will never end/Waiting for the soldier to come back again/ Never more to be alone when the letter said/ A soldiers coming home/one friday night at a football game/the lord prayer said and the anthem sang/ a man said folks would you bow your heads/for a list of 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 the pretty little girl with the bow in her hair/I cried/Never gonna hold the hand of another guy/Too young for him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling soldier/Our love will never end/Waiting for the love of the traveling soldier/our love will never end/Waiting for the soldier to come back again/Never more to be alone when the letter says/A soldiers coming home.
