TITULO:Traveling Soldier
Two days past eighteen waiting for the bus in his army greens. sat down in a booth at a cafe there gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair. He's a little shy so she give him a smile 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 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?" <chorus> 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 come back again never more be alone when the letter says "the soldier's coming home." So the letters came from an army camp in california than vietnam. he told of his heart it might be love and all of the things he was so scared of. He said, "when its gettin' kinda rough over here i remember that day sittin' down on the pier. i close my eyes and see your pretty smile. don't worry, but i won't be able to write for awhile." <chorus> 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 list of the local vietnam dead." Cryin' all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marchin' band when one name read nobody really cared but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair. <chorus>
