Truth no. 2

Truth no. 2 Lyrics

Two days past eighteen he was waiting for the buss 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 alittle shy so she gives him a smile and he said would you mind sittin' down for a while and talking to me i'm feeling alittle 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.

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 to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldiers coming home

So the letters came from an army camp in california then vietnam and he told her of his heart might be loving all of the things he was so scared of and he said when its 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.

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 to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's comming 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 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 pretty little girl with a bow in her hair.

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 llove will never end waitn' for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's coming home.

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 to come back agan never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's coming home.
