[00:00.49]Travelin' Soldier - Dixie Chicks
[00:01.06]Two days past eighteen
[00:03.83]He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
[00:06.86]Sat down in a booth in a café there
[00:10.08]Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
[00:13.86]He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
[00:16.67]And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
[00:20.03]And talkin' to me
[00:21.75]I'm feelin' a little low
[00:26.48]She said I'm off in an hour And I know where we can go
[00:36.51]So they went down and they sat on the pier
[00:39.69]He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
[00:42.92]I've got no one
[00:45.37]to send a letter to
[00:49.65]Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[00:57.09]I cried
[00:59.88]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:03.84]Too young for him they told her
[01:06.46]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[01:10.21]Our love will never end
[01:12.78]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[01:16.84]Never more to be alone
[01:18.979996]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[01:29.020004]So the letters came From an army camp
[01:32.3]In California then Vietnam
[01:35.44]And he told her of his heart
[01:37.520004]It might be love And all of the things he was so scared of
[01:42.68]Said when it's gettin kinda tough over here
[01:45.78]I think about that day sittin' down at the pier
[01:48.85]And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[01:55.490005]Don't worry
[01:56.21]But I won't be able to write for a while
[02:02.69]I cried
[02:05.67]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:09.28]Too young for him they told her
[02:12.23]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[02:15.99]Our love will never end
[02:18.73]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[02:22.59]Never more to be alone
[02:24.79001]When the letter says a soldier's coming home
[03:07.86]One Friday night at a football game
[03:10.99]The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
[03:14.35]A man said folks would you bow your heads
[03:17.70999]For the list of local
[03:19.3]Vietnam dead
[03:24.45]Cryin' all alone under the stands
[03:27.5]Was the piccolo player in the marching band
[03:30.83]And one name read and nobody really cared
[03:37.38]But a pretty little girl
[03:40.22]with a bow in her hair
[03:44.68]I cried
[03:47.68]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:51.44]Too young for him they told her
[03:54.26]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier

[04:13.71]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[04:17.91]Too young for him they told her
[04:20.58]Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
[04:24.3]Our love will never end
