Song Lyrics

He said his name was Charlie
He didn't care much for Chuck
We met him at the Lone Wolf Pub
He was down on his luck, looking for love
I asked him why he looked so blue, he just raised his beer and he sighed
He said I'm goin' off to war, and I want to hear the songs that remind me of what I'm fighting for...

Play me some Jackson and Straight, some Junior and Jones
I'm pouring out my soul with every last shot of Patron
Take me to Amarillo, like red on a rose
I'm gonna ride and die to the slow country songs

It's late one night on the convoy line
All the boys are looking up at the midnight sky with green eyes, so wide
A flash of white flies across the sky
And ol Charlie's Gonna lose it all tonight
In a dusty sandy hole, 5 thousand long miles from home
Charlie looked into my eyes, he grabbed my hand and he looked real high
And he cried out to the night

Play me some Jackson and Straight, some Junior and Jones
I'm pouring out my soul with every last shot of Patron
Take me to Amarillo, and I'll be red on a rose
He's gonna die tonight day to the slow country songs

The green blue and brown and the black and white shuffled in side by side
We're all lining the bullnose at the old wolf's pine,
We ain't lost too much, but we lost enough tonight
Some lost a mother, father, daughter, and we lost a son
We slam our hands down on the bar, we ain't gone too far to forget the war, Bartender, play us something worth fighting for!

Play me some Jackson and Straight, Junior and Jones
I'm pouring out my soul with every last shot of Patron
Take me to Amarillo, like red on a rose
We're gonna ride tonight, to the old Charlie Songs
