Intro
Verse
I Heard It On The News The Other Night.
Another Local Boy Had Paid The Price.
But It Was Different This Time Cuz I Knew
The Hero's Daddy And His Uncles Too.
Well There Were Flowers And The Book To Sign.
There Was A Kneeler And The Mourners' Line.
I Saw A Mother Barely Hanging On
As Father Looked Upon His Hero Son.
Chorus
That Hero Son Fought For Us All.
And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.
He Volunteered To Fight The Fight
To Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.
So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.
Verse
I Left The Chapel And I Stepped Outside.
A Man Was Folding Up The Stars And Stripes.
A Little Tear Was Rolling Down His Cheek.
He Turned To Me And He Began To Speak.
He Had A Boy Who Served In Vietnam
And Every Week That Good Boy Wrote His Mom.
The Letters Stopped. He Can't Remember When.
He Never Saw His Hero Son Again
Chorus
That Hero Son Fought For Us All.
And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.
He Volunteered To Fight The Fight
To Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.
So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.
Chorus
And That Hero Son Fought For Us All.
And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.
He Volunteered To Fight The Fight
To Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.
So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.
