Purple HeartI've got some change in my pocket New shoes on my feet But I work like the devil For the little I can keep There's a woman who loves me Asleep in the car While I'm drinking cheap whiskey In this smoky bar I work six days a week From seven to three There are guys who just started Who make more than me Cause they went to college While I went to war They got bachelors degrees I got this purple heart Chorus: I gave up on dreaming A long time ago If nightmares were dollars I'd be Ross Perot If hard times was religion I'd be the Pope I'd trade this hard earned medal For a drink and a smoke Wanda and I got married We had some big plans She would raise all our children While I farmed her daddy's land But the bank came a calling Took that land away So I found work at the mill At the mill I'll stay Until I turn sixty At least that's the plan I'm not sure if I'll make it I feel like an old man So pour me another I've got cash to spend And a week from this Friday I'll be back here again Chorus: I gave up on dreaming A long time ago If nightmares were dollars I'd be Ross Perot If hard times was religion I'd be the Pope I'd this hard earned medal For a drink and a smoke Things have been kinda tough Since I got discharged But compared to where I've been The real world ain't all that hard I had good friends who got killed And I'm not sure what for Though I fought for my country It wasn't my war Now all I have to show For all I've been through Is this beat up purple heart All battered and bruised The clouds are gathering I say let it rain The weather keeps on changing But I stay just the same Chorus: I gave up on dreaming A long time ago If nightmares were dollars I'd be Ross Perot If hard times was religion I'd be the Pope I'd trade this hard earned medal For a drink and a smoke Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
