Purple Heart Lyrics - David Allan Coe

I should get the purple heart for loving you after all the pain you put me through 

When they start passing medals out to fools I will get the purple heart for loving you 

There was nothing in the headlines to day you won the war 

The one and only casually was me 

You put me out of action so many times before 

And left me on this battlefield to bleed 

And I should get the purple heart... 

[ steel ] 

No one knows that I'm a hero there's no medals on my chest 

All my wounds are hidden deep inside 

I volunteered to love you hoping for the best 

But all you ever done was cheat and lie 

I should get the purple heart... 

I should get the purple heart...
