Tabbed by Eddie Perry, pretty easy song
Highway of Heroes The Trews
intro:
The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen
Upon my return were a hundred or so
From the coast and from the prairie I bet they keep coming
Add one more name from Ontario
And carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with their flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love There was never more
I served with distinction No visions of glory
I served without question of personal gain
Seek no justification It s not part of my story
And it offers no comfort to the ones who remain
And carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with their flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love There was never more
I took up my vocation I was called by my nation
Without hesitation my answer I gave
Now I am not wondering of things that I might ve been
I m no consolation to the forgotten brave
And carry me home down the highway of heroes
People above with their flags flying low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love There was never more
Carry me home down the highway of heroes
People I love with there hands down low
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
True patriot love There was never more
(repeat and fade)
There was never more There was never more
