    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 coming home

    I was one of those 'Travelling soldiers' they sing about. I'll turn 70 in a couple of months and I've never been able to shake the memories of my time in Vietnam. These ladies are pure class and even though this song reduces me to tears, they give me a warm feeling in my heart. They sing like they feel my pain. God bless you and keep you safe.

    What an emotional song. I joined the army when I was 18, and didn't have any girlfriend. I remember the feeling of loneliness in the weekends, while other soldiers had a girlfriend I was totally lonely. It was many years ago. After I finished my army service things turned the other way around and I had girls fighting for me. But the feeling of Loneliness is like a scar in the soul that leaves a mark forever. Today I'm happily married, but each time I hear this song it gets my emotions high up as I reminisce. Life is beautiful but without love it's worthless. All the best ❤🙏

    I so admire these women for protesting with their music. The power of music delivers that message both deeper and wider. They paid a heavy price for their sincerity and commitment. It delights me to see an enormous audience followed The Chicks’ truth and shunned the music biz liars that tried to crush them.
    I know this video addresses something far more important than that fight, but as a musician I send them love and endless admiration for their courage and strength.

      I'm so sorry your father never returned home. My father served in the Korean War and WWll as well. He came home, but the effect it had on him was destructive. He became an alcoholic and became emotionally and physically abusive. To me, my Mom and my 6 siblings. And even though my Mom was finally able to divorce him. He always came back. To get $$ from my Mom for beer. He eventually moved away and later died in 1997. But because of scars of the war that he received. Has left a scar on us who have survived from the abuse of my father. And no one will ever convince me. That going to war is ever a solution! These rich men in power. Act like 2 little boys fighting over a new toy. They want from someone who got it first. Except in this game... the price is an innocent man or woman's life. And these rich men with too much power. Have blood on their hands. May they all burn in hell!

He put us anywhere we needed to be He said he flew with the 101st Air Cav in the states during Nam. He later transferred to a Medi-Vav division. I trusted him with my life on many occassions. He died on a mountain top saving others. Will never forget this man as I was one of the ones he saved.

      It’s a pity they got so much flak in the early 2000s. You can tell from their songs they do support the troops, even if they don’t always support the decisions of the leadership of the troops. Hell, lots of us spoke out about it at the same time. There was a lot of doubt that what we were doing in Iraq was 100% right. (Which was later proven correct.)

    I am a Vietnam Vet (Marine) and I love this song. I seen my share of killing but there is usually one that you can never get out of your mind. On April 23rd 1969, while on patrol, we were ambushed and a boy from Raleigh NC by the name of Willard Till was killed. You will find his name on the Vietnam virtual wall on the internet. His death was so unnecessary. It took me 20 years to find the nerve to locate his parents. I am from Michigan and a drove to NC to meet his parents in 1989. Tears flowed like a river. They had prayed for 20 years that God would send some one who was there when their son was killed, so they could know that he "came home" . They couldn't be at peace because the casket was closed, do to the condition of his body. It haunted them not knowing if he really died and that was his body in the casket. That night as we sat at the table, I told them, Willard never suffered. I heled put his body on the helicopter. We all went to see his grave the next day. I look his mother in the eyes and told her ' Francis, Willard is home" . Willard was 19 years old. Just a boy. This boy was 18.
