Travelin' Soldier - Aaron Lewis.mp3

[00:15.336]Two days past eighteen
[00:17.889]He was waitin' for the bus in his army green
[00:20.805]Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
[00:24.156]He gave his order to a girl
[00:25.797]with a bow in her hair
[00:27.872]He's a little shy so she give him a smile
[00:30.974]And he said would you mind
[00:32.428]sittin' down for a while
[00:34.479]And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
[00:40.648]She said I'm off in an hour and
[00:42.591]I know where we can go
[00:50.697]So they went down and they sat on the pier
[00:53.753]He said I bet you got a boyfriend
[00:55.452]but I don't care
[00:57.058]I got no one to send a letter to
[01:03.989]Would you mind if I sent one back
[01:06.316]here to you
[01:11.108]I cried
[01:14.157]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[01:17.986]Too young for him they told her
[01:20.899]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[01:24.199]Our love will never end
[01:27.096]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[01:30.899]Never more to be alone
[01:33.253]When the letter said a soldier's comin' home
[01:43.156]So the letters came from an army camp
[01:46.408]In California then Afghanistan
[01:49.709]And he told her of his heart it might be love
[01:52.981]And all of the things that he was so scared of
[01:56.582]He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
[01:59.984]I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
[02:02.945]And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
[02:09.446]Don't worry but I won't be able
[02:11.949]to write for a while
[02:16.844]I cried
[02:19.845]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[02:23.398]Too young for him they told her
[02:26.630]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[02:30.032]Our love will never end
[02:32.745]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[02:36.721]Never more to be alone
[02:39.021]When the letter said a soldier's comin' home
[02:48.906]One Friday night at a football game
[02:52.458]The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
[02:55.659]A man said
[02:56.565]Folks would you bow your head
[02:58.816]To a list of local soldiers dead
[03:05.671]Cryin' all alone under the stands
[03:08.736]Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
[03:11.822]And one name read and nobody really cared
[03:18.476]But the pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[03:25.969]I cried
[03:28.771]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:32.722]Too young for him they told her
[03:35.338]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[03:38.957]Our love will never end
[03:41.758]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[03:45.710]Never more to be alone
[03:48.082]When the letter said a soldier's comin'
[03:52.134]I cried
[03:55.236]Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
[03:58.386]Too young for him they told her
[04:01.669]Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
[04:05.337]Our love will never end
[04:07.942]Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
[04:12.167]Never more to be alone
[04:14.418]When the letter said a soldier's comin' home
