Travelin' Soldier
A young soldier, a small-town diner and a waitress with a bow in her hair. Some roads change you forever.
He is two days past eighteen, in uniform, waiting for a bus that will take him far from home. She is working her shift at the diner. They talk for an hour, and nothing is the same afterwards.
Written by Bruce Robison and made famous by the Dixie Chicks, Travelin' Soldier is one of country music's great story songs. This is how we imagine it began.
