Arlington

In the style of

Trace Adkins

Lyrics

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 every time
i hear
twenty-one guns
i know
they've brought
another hero home
to us

we're thankful
for those
thankful for
the things
we've done

and 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
