Chely Wright - Bumper Of My SUV - Veteran's Day Video Marathon

Video number ten in our Veteran's Day Video Marathon is Chely Wright's Bumper Of My SUV. This song is written from the perspective of a military family member showing support of her brother. What a great song for today:

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car
Says United States Marines
And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me
Does she think she knows what I stand for
Or the things that I believe
Just by looking at a sticker for the US Marines
On The Bumper Of My SUV

See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now
Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam
Did his duty then he got out
And my grandpa earned his purple heart
On the beach of Normandy
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
On The Bumper Of SUV

But that doesn't mean that I want war
I'm not Republican or Democrat
But I've gone all around this crazy world
Just to try and better understand

Yes I do have questions
I get to ask them because I'm free
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
On the Bumper Of My SUV

Cause I've been to Hiroshima
And I've been to the DMZ
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad
Still don't have all of the answers I need
But I guess I wanna know where she's been
Before she judges and gestures to me
Cause she don't like my sticker
For the US Marines
On the bumper of my SUV

So I hope that lady in her mini-van
Turns on her radio and hears this from me
As she picks up her kids from their private school
And drives home safely on our city streets
Or to the building where her church group meets

Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines
On the bumper of my SUV

Happy Veteran's Day!

Flashback Video - Chely Wright's Single White Female

It's amazing to me that it's been ten years since Chely Wright had a top ten country single. 1999 was by far her most successful year on the charts. She released her fourth studio album called Single White Female, and the first single was the title cut, and it went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. So far, it's her only number one hit of her career. Look for Chely on the airwaves later this year as she supposed to be releasing her 7th studio album called Notes to the Coroner. Looking forward to having you back Chely... Enjoy!
