Purple Heart Lyrics

Verse 1:
Clearwater River never-ending canyon such a long way where you are
On the trail of Old Chief Joseph to the cold Northern Prairie
I hear you calling from afar
Your Purple Heart and Bronze Star
I walk the woods there behind your son my lucky rifle in my hand
We laugh and wander like soldiers on the run
Huntin' down an outlaw Indian band
To where they made their final stand

Chorus:
And Charlie can we talk about the war tonight
Did you really kill 500 men
Did their eyes glisten in the mortar light
Would you go back there again
With that damned old Agent Orange in your blood And that twisp of Old Montana in your scar
Will you dig out that old Colt 45
Your Purple Heart and Bronze Star
Verse 2:
Years on the mountain mappin' out the Bob Morgan horses on the trails
Them old canvas wall tents don't hold out Grizzler Bears
But that old pistol never failed
And the best outfitter never tells

Repeat Chorus

Final Verse:
Gotta go now I make my livin' singin' songs of men like you
But this music business it's like a war man
They'll kill a million ‘fore they're through
But my bullets fire red white and blue

Final Chorus:
