Lyrics Sammy Kershaw

The Snow White Rows Of Arlington

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 truth 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
