Arlington |
| 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 |
