Trews - Highway Of Heroes lyrics

rate me

The day I shipped out

They numbered a dozen.

Upon my return

Were a hundred or so.

From the coast and the prairies

I bet they keep coming.

But add one more name from Ontario.

Chorus:

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

Or personal gain.

Seek no justification

Its not part of my story.

No comfort to the ones who remain.

Chorus:

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

Bout the things that I might have been.

There's no consolation

To the forgotten brave.

Chorus:

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.

People above with their flags held low.

Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.

True Patriot Love

There was never more.

Chorus:

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.

People I love with their heads held low.

Carry me softly down The Highway of Heroes.

True Patriot Love

There was never more x 6

Its the highway to heros X5
