    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.

    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

    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
    Nevermore to be alone
    When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home"
    When the letter says, "A soldier's comin' home"

    This song is pure gold. My Grandfather lost several buddies in Vietnam and nearly lost his own life there, so this song really hits close to home in a way, especially since I wouldn't be here if my Grandfather died in Vietnam. God bless our Vietnam Veterans!

    Lyrics for those who don’t know the song:
    Two days past eighteen
    He was waiting for the 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 gave him a smile
    So he said would you mind sitting 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
    Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
    My love will never end
    Waiting for the soldier to come back again
    Never more to be alone when the letter says
    My soldiers coming home
    The letters came from an army camp
    In California and Viet Nam
    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 tough over here
    I think of that day sitting 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
    I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    Too young for him they told her
    Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
    My love will never end
    Waiting for the soldier to come back again
    Never more to be alone when the letter says
    My soldiers coming home
    SOLO
    One Friday night at a football game
    The lords prayer said and the anthem sang
    The man said
    Folks would you bow your head
    For the list of local Viet Name dead
    Crying all alone under the stands
    Was the picolo player in the marching band
    And one name read 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
    Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
    My love will never end
    Waiting for the soldier to come back again
    Never more to be alone when the letter says
    My soldiers coming
    I cried never gonna hold the hand of another guy
    Too young for him they told her
    Waiting for the love of the travellin soldier
    My love will never end
    Waiting for the soldier to come back again
    Never more to be alone when the letter says
    My soldiers coming home
    Also, this is my absolute favorite cover ever. His voice just melts my heart, like genuinely he’s amazing. 🥰

    When the chick's sang it I feel like I heard the girls opinion in it but when cody sings it its like I hear the pain in the man more. I totally sympathize with this song and it hits close to home. My grandmother and grandfather were alot like this couple in the song grew up a farm away from eachother and was in love , He got deployed, him and my grandmother got married had a baby (my mom ) and he died when she was 6 months old in the Michelin rubber plantation due to a grenade hitting the tank he was driving. She never knew her biological father but would go on to hear stories of his bravery. You bring out the side that I didn't get to see from my pap and I hear the hurt he probably felt in those last seconds as his wife and daughters face flashed in his mind as he felt the explosion take place. Thankyou to all of our veterans.

    As a huge Chicks fan, I have to say this version is even more beautiful. His voice is sick.
