    I was born in 1970. Sometime in the early 90s my mom visited a traveling display of the Vietnam memorial wall. She found a name on the wall and I watched her start crying. She told me she had a boyfriend before my dad and he was killed in Vietnam. My mom has since passed away.
    I always think about that when I hear this song.

    What I love the most of these stripped down sessions is Cody’s demeanor. His eyes are closed 99% of the song. You can tell he is just as caught up in the emotions of this song as we are listening to it. Takes a special kind of artist to “tear your heart out when they sing” as George Jones would say. Absolutely love the amount of passion and vulnerability he shows to help us put ourselves on his songs. And how he relays it in the lyrics especially in the songs he’s written himself.

    Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    Two days past eighteen
    He was waitin' on a bus 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 a little shy so she give him a smile
    And he said, "Would you mind sittin' down for a while
    And talkin' to me? I'm feelin' pretty low"
    She said "I'm off in an hour and I know a place we can go"
    So they went down and sat on the pier
    He said "I bet you got a boyfriend, but I don't care
    Cause 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
    Nevermore to be alone
    When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home"
    [Verse 2]
    So the letters came from an army camp
    In California then Vietnam
    And he told her of his heart, it might be love
    And all of the things he was so scared of
    He said, "When it's gettin' kinda rough over here
    I sit and think about that day on 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
    Nevermore 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
    And a man said, "Folks, would you bow your heads
    For a list of local Vietnam dead?"
    Well, cryin' all alone underneath the stands
    Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band
    And one name read, and nobody really cared
    Except that pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
    [Chorus]
    And 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

    Lyric:
    Two days past eighteen
    He was waiting for the bus in his army green
    Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
    Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
    He's a little shy so she give him a smile
    So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
    And talking to me, I'm feeling a little 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
    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 says
    A soldier's coming home
    So the letters came from an army camp
    In California then Vietnam
    And he told her of his heart
    It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
    He 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 pretty smile
    Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
    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 says
    A soldier's coming 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 head
    For the list of local Vietnam dead
    Crying all alone under the stands
    Was the 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
    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 says
    A soldier's coming home
    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 says
    A soldier's coming home
