Makes me hotter than a spoon in a trap house that the buzz on social media is giving credit for “Travelin’ Soldier” to the band formerly known as the Dixie Chicks.

Let’s set this straight before the algorithm buries another Texas truth:

Bruce Robison wrote that song.

Long before radio polish and chart-topping harmonies, Bruce sat down in the mid-’90s and penned a letter from a lonely kid headed off to war — a boy with no one else to write to. It wasn’t fancy. It wasn’t political. It was real. That’s why it hurts so good.

The Chicks covered it and carried it for a while — no doubt, they did it justice. But they didn’t compose it. The soul of that song belongs to Bruce Robison and the quiet ache of small-town America he put into it.

Now here comes Cody Johnson, tipping his hat to the real source and bringing “Travelin’ Soldier” back home to Texas. From the way early clips sound, CoJo’s keeping it stripped down — respectful, heartfelt, and damn near spiritual.

“Some folks write love songs. Bruce Robison wrote a goodbye — from a boy who didn’t have anyone else to say hello to.”

So when Friday rolls around and Cody Johnson’s version drops, remember who lit the match.

Bruce wrote it. The Chicks covered it. Cody brought it back.
