Lyrics:
This is my last ride
I'm on that Angel Flight tonight
Covered by the Stars and Stripes
It's true that all give some, and some give it all
But I knew that when I answered the call

In Arlington they'll lay me down
But just look, and you'll find that i'm still around

On the banks of the Ashley
Under Palmetto moons
In 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 gray line of brothers to carry me home

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 that I'm right by their side

In Arlington they'll lay me down
But just look and you'll find that I'll always be around

On the banks of the Ashley
Under Palmetto moons
In 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 gray line of brothers to carry me home
