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 LAID
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 BROUGHT
ANOTHER HERO HOME
TO US
4 BAR BREAK
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
