Purple Heart - Moccasin Creek, Brenn Hill

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

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

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:
