Travelin' Soldier
 Dixie Chicks 

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 gives him a smile
And 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
Over 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
 
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 awhile
 
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
 
远行的战士
      
18岁刚过两天
他穿着军装等待汽车
昨天露天的咖啡座
女招待戴着蝴蝶结
她冲着害羞的男孩微笑
他说你是否可以坐下陪我聊天
因为我有些情绪低落
她说我有一小时休息时间
我知道我们可以哪里坐
 
他们一起坐在码头
他说我猜你有男友但是我不会在乎
他说我甚至无人可以写信
你是否介意我与你书信交往？
 
我哭了
我从未拉过另个男孩的手
他们说他还太年轻
等待远行战士的爱
这爱情将永不消逝
等待远行战士的爱
当信上说战士即将回归
将不会再与寂寞相伴
 
军中不断发来信件
从加州到越南
他向她倾诉衷肠
从爱意到心中恐慌
他说每当情况严峻
我都会想起那日码头共坐
我闭上双眼回忆你的甜美微笑
不要担心即使我有时不能写信
 
在一个星期五的足球赛上
圣歌伴着祈祷
一个人说同胞们请低下头去
有我们的同乡死于越南
看台下面，行进乐队的短笛手伤心哭泣
没有人真正在意那死者名姓
除了那头戴蝴蝶结的姑娘
