There are a lot of perfect reasons To never fight another war There are a lot of perfect questions As to what’s worth fighting for There are a lot of perfect fools Who refuse to read the writing on the wall
But the [bad word] is there are people Who’ve made it crystal clear That it is their holy mission To destroy all we hold dear They are visibly out searching for the fire To make this towing nation fall
Now we can just sit back and wait Until they spill more precious blood Or we can seek these cowards out And nip their slaughter in the bud
Audios sweet home and family I’m off to fight a war that must be won You’ll know why I’m going when you see The snow white rows of Arlington
Every blade of grass is sacred Every headstone is a shrine To somebody who was willing To put existence on the line The liberty we take for granted Was purchased with their patriotic lives
Are their sleeping spirits restless? Do they listen for the sound? Of the mustering of armies To defend their hallowed ground? Will we rise to the occasion To ensure their legacy survives?
Through the willows blow soft breezes They are whispering my name Asking did they die for nothing? Aren’t I the keeper of the flame?
Audios sweet home and family Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son You will know why I’m leaving when you see The snow white rows of Arlington
Audios sweet home and family Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son And if it be my fate you’ll find me Proudly sleeping in the snow white, When you see the snow white rows of Arlington
