| [00:15.53] |
I never thought that this is where I'd settle down' |
| [00:20.59] |
|
| [00:21.84] |
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown' |
| [00:25.78] |
|
| [00:26.96] |
They gave me this plot of land' me and some other men' for a job well done' |
| [00:35.32] |
|
| [00:37.13] |
There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road' |
| [00:42.64] |
|
| [00:43.64] |
The man inside he cried the day they brought me home' |
| [00:47.58] |
|
| [00:48.89] |
They folded up a flag and told my mom and dad' we're proud of your son |
| [00:57.28] |
|
| [00:58.96] |
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property' |
| [01:02.97] |
|
| [01:05.09] |
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company' |
| [01:09.65] |
|
| [01:11.53] |
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done' |
| [01:16.09] |
|
| [01:18.03] |
I can rest in peace' I'm one of the chosen ones' I made it to Arlington |
| [01:25.59] |
|
| [01:30.59] |
I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight' |
| [01:35.03] |
|
| [01:36.84] |
We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay' |
| [01:41.34] |
|
| [01:42.15] |
And when we finally found that cross' |
| [01:45.15] |
He said' "son this is what it cost to keep us free" Now here I am' |
| [01:54.07] |
A thousand stones away from him' |
| [01:57.25] |
|
| [01:58.88] |
He recognized me on the first day I came in' |
| [02:03.13] |
|
| [02:04.19] |
And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels' and saluted me. |
| [02:11.88] |
|
| [02:14.33] |
And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property' |
| [02:18.20] |
|
| [02:19.58] |
I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company' |
| [02:24.45] |
|
| [02:27.14] |
I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done' |
| [02:31.89] |
|
| [02:33.14] |
I can rest in peace' I'm one of the chosen ones' I made it to Arlington |
| [02:43.56] |
|
| [02:46.49] |
And everytime I hear twenty-one guns' |
| [02:51.25] |
|
| [02:52.62] |
I know they brought another hero home to us |
| [03:01.19] |
|
| [03:14.14] |
We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done' |
| [03:20.33] |
We can rest in peace' 'cause we are the chosen ones' |
| [03:26.08] |
We made it to arlington' yea dust to dust' |
| [03:35.75] |
Don't cry for us' we made it to arlington |
