| I never thought that this is where I’d settle down
|
| I thought I’d die an old man back in my hometown
|
| They gave me this plot of land, me and some other men
|
| For a job well done
|
| There’s a big white house sits on a hill just up the road
|
| The man inside, he cried the day they brought me home
|
| They folded up a flag, and told my mom and dad
|
| We’re proud of your son
|
| And I’m proud to be on this peaceful piece of property
|
| I’m on sacred ground and I’m in the best of company
|
| I’m thankful for those thankful for the things I’ve done
|
| I can rest in peace, I’m one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington
|
| I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight
|
| We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay
|
| And when we finally found that cross
|
| He said, «Son, this is what it costs to keep us free»
|
| Now here I am a thousand stones away from him
|
| He recognized me on the first day I came in
|
| And it gave me a chill, when he clicked his heels
|
| And saluted me
|
| And I’m proud to be on this peaceful piece of property
|
| I’m on sacred ground and I’m in the best of company
|
| And I’m thankful for those thankful for the things I’ve done
|
| I can rest in peace, I’m one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington
|
| And everytime I hear, twenty-one guns
|
| I know they brought another hero home, to us
|
| We’re thankful for those thankful for the things we’ve done
|
| We can rest in peace, 'cause we are the chosen ones
|
| We made it to Arlington
|
| Yeah dust to dust, don’t cry for us
|
| We made it to Arlington |
