Purple Heart Gary
He's got a purple heart on his hat
Charisma on his sleeve
He's at ease with grit or grace
A smile for each lady that he sees
He's got gravel in his weathered voice
Some dirt left on his boots
He don't like that old jukebox
When its playin' those new tunes
They call him Purple Heart Gary
He's lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
That's Purple Heart Gary
He's got buddies around the world
They all love to hear him laugh
He knew Smokin' Joe and Larry Holmes
He once autographed their autograph
He'll chase it with a shot a vodka
Tell you a dirty joke
He'll dance with all the pretty girls
Give you a cig if you need a smoke
Purple Heart Gary
Lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
That's Purple Heart Gary
Vietnam, Viet Cong
Tell me "Charlie" where it all went wrong
Can't undo the things you've done
Welcome home...
Got a purple heart on his hat
Charisma on his sleeve
He's at ease with grit or grace
A smile for each lady that he sees
He's got gravel in his weathered voice
Some dirt left on his boots
He don't like that old jukebox
Playin' those new tunes
They call him Purple Heart Gary
He's lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
With his purple heart
That's Purple Heart Gary
Lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
Purple Heart
Charisma on his sleeve
He's at ease with grit or grace
A smile for each lady that he sees
He's got gravel in his weathered voice
Some dirt left on his boots
He don't like that old jukebox
When its playin' those new tunes
They call him Purple Heart Gary
He's lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
That's Purple Heart Gary
He's got buddies around the world
They all love to hear him laugh
He knew Smokin' Joe and Larry Holmes
He once autographed their autograph
He'll chase it with a shot a vodka
Tell you a dirty joke
He'll dance with all the pretty girls
Give you a cig if you need a smoke
Purple Heart Gary
Lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
That's Purple Heart Gary
Vietnam, Viet Cong
Tell me "Charlie" where it all went wrong
Can't undo the things you've done
Welcome home...
Got a purple heart on his hat
Charisma on his sleeve
He's at ease with grit or grace
A smile for each lady that he sees
He's got gravel in his weathered voice
Some dirt left on his boots
He don't like that old jukebox
Playin' those new tunes
They call him Purple Heart Gary
He's lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
With his purple heart
That's Purple Heart Gary
Lightin' up the bar in your hometown
He'll buy you another round
Purple Heart
