thank yu for the video.. my wife and i are planning a trip north in oct.. good to have this video we werent even going to stop in n. platte.. ( you make a great couple .. happiness to you both)
I’m from Texas and I recently wanted to write a song that had something to do with a small town and a soldier. I was stuck with the question of “what town do I write about”. I was looking at my google map and I remembered going through North Platte back in 95 or 96 when I was driving a truck. I started reading about the town and it was perfect for my song. This is what I came up with. “North Platte Soldier” He fell in love his senior year, and she became his whole life. And he knew shortly after, he wanted her to be his wife. Over dinner at Penny’s Diner, he got down on one knee. He said “I want to spend my life with you. Will you marry me”? He felt called to serve his country, ever since he was a kid. Even if it meant going off to war, just like his grandpa did. He thought he owed his country, and he wanted to do his part. And little towns like North Platte, raise kids with great big hearts. The day had come that she’d been dreading, and they’d have to say goodbye. She tried to be strong for him, but she broke down and cried. They cherished every moment, and hung on for dear life. She was scared, but she was still so proud, to be a North Platte soldier’s wife. They took pictures in front of the the Golden Spike Tower. Watched the trains in the morning light. They talked about the soldiers of the past, how they went off to fight. To her, he wasn’t a number, but a blessing from above. And she knew that she’d be missing her North Platte soldier’s love. Well he fought in two deployments, and somehow his life was spared. It helped them to keep going, to know how much each other cared. He was thankful to be back at home. And grateful to be alive. And most of all, he thanked God, for his North Platte soldier’s wife. They took pictures in front of the the Golden Spike Tower. Watched the trains in the morning light. They talked about the soldiers of the past, how they went off to fight. To her, he wasn’t a number, but a blessing from above. And she thanks God every day, for her North Platte soldier’s love.
A few weeks ago, I wanted to write a song about a small town soldier and I was trying to pick out a town for the song. I was looking over google maps and I remembered going through North Platte back in 95-96 truck driving. I read about the town and thought it was perfect. This is what I came up with. I dedicate it to all the folks of North Platte who have served our country and their families. “North Platte Soldier” He fell in love his senior year, and she became his whole life.

He felt called to serve his country, ever since he was a kid.
Even if it meant going off to war, just like his grandpa did.
He thought he owed his country, and he wanted to do his part.
