IntroVerseI Heard It On The News The Other Night.Another Local Boy Had Paid The Price.But It Was Different This Time Cuz I KnewThe 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 OnAs Father Looked Upon His Hero Son.ChorusThat Hero Son Fought For Us All.And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.He Volunteered To Fight The FightTo Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.VerseI 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 VietnamAnd Every Week That Good Boy Wrote His Mom.The Letters Stopped. He Can't Remember When.He Never Saw His Hero Son AgainChorusThat Hero Son Fought For Us All.And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.He Volunteered To Fight The FightTo Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.ChorusAnd That Hero Son Fought For Us All.And Though He's Gone, His Spirit Lives On.He Volunteered To Fight The FightTo Help Preserve Our Way Of Life.So Say A Prayer For Him Tonight, That Hero Son.
