LYRICS

Harold met Berniece circa 1943
That bullet to the leg nearly took him but it took him to her
He sure smiled when he came to, looking up into baby blues
She said gunny you’re lucky it could’ve been a whole lot worse

The next two months it was making her laugh every time she walked by
By the time it was time to send him back they didn’t wanna say goodbye
So he said

By the way if you ever make it to Superior, Montana
My brother’s band sure bangs around most Tuesday nights
Bet your boots I’ll get you two stepping’ to WC Handy
I think you’d love it out west think you might never leave my side
If we ever make it out of here alive

Harold wrote Berniece letters every day for weeks
’Til he could get back there to her when the fight died down
When that day finally came they snuck around that German base
They only had 4 days but boy did they make ‘em count

Just 4 days wasn’t near enough for the love they fell in
She longed to hear just the way he talked and to hear him say again

By the way if you ever make it to Superior, Montana
My brother’s band sure bangs around most Tuesday nights
Bet your boots I’ll get you two stepping’ to WC Handy
I think you’d love it out west think we might have a knot to tie
If we ever make it out of here alive

Harold wrote Berniece if you don’t hear from me
Thank you for making and changing and saving my life
That’s the last one that came in, down to her knees she went
With the news she never got to tell him about that night

She went home with a broken heart and a baby bump that June
She took her time to heal her scars but she knew what she had to do when she said

Wish you could see that we made it to Superior, Montana
Your brother’s band sure sounded good last Tuesday night
He just turned two and looks like you and although he don’t understand yet
flowers on a cross and water from his momma’s eyes
We just wanted you to know, we made it out of there alive

Harold met Berniece circa 1943
That bullet to the leg nearly took him but it took him to her
