This is my last ride
I'm on that angel flight tonight
I'm covered by the stars and stripes
It's true that all give some; yet some get all
But I knew that when i answered the call
In Arlington, lay me down
But just look and you'll find, that I'm still around
()
On the Banks of the ashley,
Under palmetto moons
And the thunder of the cannons, on a friday afternoon,
So you don't have to cry for me mother,
You see I'm not alone,
There's a long grey line of brothers
To carry me home.
(Guitar)
I'll send letters from heaven, if I find the time,
Right now, brothers are still in the fight.
They can't see me except for the pictures in their pockets
But they know I'm right by their side.
In Arlington, lay me down.
But just look, and you'll find, that I'll always be around
