Charlie Songs

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
