travelin' soldier - home free lyrics

[verse 1]
two days past eighteen
she was waiting for the bus in her army green
sat down in a booth in a cafe nearby
gave her order to a guy in a thin black tie
she’s a little shy so he gave her a smile
and she said, would you mind sittin’ down for a while
and talkin’ to me, i’m feelin’ 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
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 send one back here to you?

[chorus]
i cried
you’ll never wanna 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 comin’ home

[verse 2]
so the letters came once a week at least
from oklahoma then the middle east
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 gettin’ kinda rough over here
i think of that day sittin’ down at the pier
and i close my eyes and see your handsome smile
don’t worry but i won’t be able to write for a while
[chorus]
i cried
you’ll never wanna 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 comin’ home

[verse 3]
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 the local army dead
cryin’ all alone under the stands
was a piccolo player in the marching band
and one name read and n0body really cried
but a single guy in a thin black tie

[chorus]
i cried
you’re 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 comin’
i cried
you’re 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 comin’ home
