Arlington (In the Style of Trace Adkins) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke

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

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 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
