I've never won a battle
But i've always fought a war
The wounds have healed
But i'll always be reminded
By the scars
Day by day she took away my pride
Right from the start
That's how i got my purple heart
B@it's not the kind the world will ever see
Although for years i wore it on my sleeve
It's been abused, broke and bruised
Almost torn apart
That's how i got my purple heart
I wore that old blue collar uniform
From day to day
Bought her more than i could afford
To make her wanta stay
But all the things i tried
I guess was just shots in the dark
Thats how i got my purple heat
