Travelin' Soldier
"Travelin' Soldier" is a song written and originally recorded by American country music artist Bruce Robison in 1996 and again, in rewritten form, in 1999. It was later recorded by Ty England on his 1999 album, ''Highways & Dance Halls''. The first rendition to be issued as a single was by the Dixie Chicks in December 2002, from their album ''Home''. It became the group's sixth and final single to reach No. 1 on ''Billboard'' "Hot Country Singles & Tracks" (now "Hot Country Songs"). A version of the song featuring Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Robison and Robison's wife, Kelly Willis, appears on ''KGSR's Broadcasts Vol. 13'' album.〔Moser, Margaret, ("Texas Platters Record Review" ), ''The Austin Chronicle'', November 25, 2005, Retrieved February 21, 1010〕
==Content==
The song is a tale about a shy, lonesome, young American soldier who strikes up a conversation and later a correspondence with a high school girl during the Vietnam War era. Americana details pervade the lyrics as the song details the correspondence as a relationship forms between the two, despite the insurmountable distance. The last letter from the soldier mentions that "it's gettin kinda rough over here" and he "won't be able to write for a while" before skipping ahead to a football game at the girl's high school. After the anthem and Lord's Prayer, the local Vietnam dead are announced. The soldier's name is on the list, but only the girl, who is a piccolo player in the marching band, recognizes him, and she mourns for him by herself under the bleachers.
