Never Coming Home

I heard a song tonight, one I've known for years

But the words cut deeper, brought me to tears

Took me back to your old truck, windows rolled down

That Dixie Chicks album, the new love we'd found

We were young and wild, nothing in our way

I thought that kind of love would never fade

But I'm still here, never wanna hold the hand of another guy

Still waiting for that soldier, asking the night sky why you've moved on

And I'm all alone, the traveling soldier is never coming home

That song told a story, of love that was lost

A girl that held on, no matter the cost

But he never came home, and she never moved on

And I felt her heartbreak, cause I've lived it too long

Five years fighting what I can't let go

Still waiting on a love I'm not allowed to show

So I'm still here, never wanna hold the hand of another guy

Still waiting for that soldier, asking the night sky why you've moved on

And I'm all alone, the traveling soldier is never coming home

Maybe it's a curse, maybe it's a vow, maybe it's a soul tie I can't cut out

And I don't know if I'll ever be free, but I know what you meant, you meant everything to me

And I'm still here, never wanna hold the hand of another guy

Still waiting for that soldier, asking the night sky why you've moved on

And I'm all alone, the traveling soldier is never coming home

I need to let go

Cause you're never coming home
