Arlington lyrics

Artist  : Trace Adkins 
Song : Arlington



 Send "Arlington" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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



Chorus:

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 cost to keep
us free" 

Now here I am, a thousand stones away from
him,

He reconized me on the first day i came in, 

And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels,
and saluted me.



(Repeat Chorus)



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, yea dust to dust, 

Don't cry for us,we made it to arlington.
