Travelin' 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 order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy but she give him a smile
So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low
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 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 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 getting 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 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 Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was the 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 more to 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 more to be alone when the letter says
A soldier's coming home

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music group formed in Texas in 1989. The trio consists of Natalie Maines (lead vocals), Emily Strayer (banjo, guitar) and Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin). Initially known for their traditional country sound, the Dixie Chicks gained international recognition with albums like "Wide Open Spaces" (1998) and "Fly" (2000), which sold millions of copies worldwide. Their success was marked by numerous Grammy Awards, including five in the category "Best Country Album". In 2003, the Dixie Chicks became embroiled in controversy due to Natalie Maines' anti-war remarks during a concert in London. This led to a strong negative reaction from some fans and the loss of support from some country radio stations. Despite the controversy, the group remained active, releasing albums such as "Taking the Long Way" (2006) and "Gaslighter" (2020). The Dixie Chicks are considered one of the most influential country bands of recent decades, thanks to their catchy music, energetic performances, and courage in expressing their opinions.
