The Vietnam War - Traveling Soldier: Dixie Chicks
sad story pop song, but I do like it.

Two days past eighteen, He was waitin' 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 but she give him a smile, So he said: "Would you mind sittin' down for a while?
"And talkin' to me. I'm feelin' a little low." She said: "I'm off in an hour [often low] 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?"

A man said: "Folks would you bow your head,
"For the list of local Vietnam dead."
