The Snow White Rows of Arlington Lyrics


There are a lot of perfect reasons
To never fight another war
There are a lot of perfect questions
As to whats worth fighting for
There are a lot of perfect fools
Who refuse to read the writing on the wallBut the truth is there are people
Whove 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 fallNow 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 budAudios sweet home and family
Im off to fight a war that must be won
Youll know why Im going when you see
The snow white rows of ArlingtonEvery 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 livesAre 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?
Arent I the keeper of the flame?Audios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
You will know why Im leaving when you see
The snow white rows of ArlingtonAudios sweet home and family
Wave goodbye to your Louisiana son
And if it be my fate youll find me
Proudly sleeping in the snow white,
When you see the snow white rows of Arlington

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Samuel Paul "Sammy" Kershaw (born February 24, 1958, in Kaplan, Louisiana) is an American Country and Western music singer and songwriter.

He is a relative of Cajun music legend, Doug Kershaw.

After the death of his father when Sammy was 11, he worked a variety of jobs by day while playing roadhouses at night to support his family.

During that time, he opened shows for Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones while barely into his teens. When the pressures of growing up fast took their toll in the form of a serious drug and alcohol problem, he quit his bad habits cold turkey in 1988 and took a break from music to work as a remodeling supervisor at Wal-Mart.

One of Kershaw's demo tapes made its way to Mercury Records, which released his debut album in 1991. His traditional country voice found a receptive audience in the early 1990s, with hits like "Cadillac Style," "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" and a remake of the Amazing Rhythm Aces' "Third Rate Romance."

Shortly thereafter, Kershaw and Lorrie Morgan divorced their spouses and married in 2001. They separated two years later, but quickly reconciled. Prior to their marriages, Kershaw and Morgan recorded two duets - "Maybe Not Tonight" and "He Drinks Tequila", both of which made the Top 40.

He has released over 14 albums in his career including "I Want My Money Back" on Audium Records in 2003.

Kershaw filed for protection under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on February 7, 2007.
