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. I always think about that when I hear this song.

He has given the song a unique dimension that we never heard before. That is the sense by which cover song artists become original themselves. And that's their win. You are a real talent Mr.Johnson.

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.

Song hits home because my grandma was the girl getting letters from Vietnam…I can’t imagine how she felt when her local news would read that list. She tells me all the time her and my grandpa are lucky for him coming home

So, does this mean that we're getting an album of acoustic covers? Because, if so, I am SO here for that!

Former active duty Army Infantryman. Saw your show in Midland Texas, March 2019. After the show you put on, and the words you said about military and first responders is the reason why you will always be one of my favorite artists that inspires me everyday with your music. Your music inspires me to want to continue the pursuit of singing country no matter how long it takes for me to make it and one day hear one of my own songs on the radio.

He is so unbelievably talented!

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it on the radio when I was 8. It's been almost 20 years now, never grasped the gravity of it until right now listening to this cover and I am bawling. Beautiful song, beautiful cover. ❤️

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. 🥰

Hi

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.

I revisit this probably 5-10 times a month, it pops up as suggested in my search bar. One of the best covers I’ve ever heard

My boyfriend is in basic training right now and as sad as this song is, I cry to it just about every single day.

Hello sunshine ☀️

Cody was the first person I ever saw live back at Shenanigans Bar in Huntsville Texas in like 2013. I was 18 years old 🖤. His voice is just as heavenly in person and he’s a really nice guy.

As a 17 year old who wants to enlist into the Military, this song hits really hard. Wonderful job, Cody! I loved it!

Man I did it I left 2 weeks after I graduated high school I was still 17 when I left I was the youngest trainee at my graduation at Fort Jackson SC and I’ll tell you the hardest part of any of it is taking that first step and actually leaving I’ll tell you I’m currently overseas and everyday I wish I could see my mom and my sister but at the end of the day you just gotta live with because now you’re part of something bigger
