"Travelin' Soldier" (v2.0)

Two days past eighteen
she was waiting for the bus in her army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave her order to a guy with gell in his hair
she's a little shy so he gives her a smile
And she said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low
he said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier
she said I bet you got a girlfriend 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

Chorus: I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another girl
Too young for her they told him
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

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And she told him of her heart
It might be love and all of the things she was so scared of
she 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 lovely 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 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 handsom young man, gell in his hair

[Chorus x2]
