Searching For A Soldier's Grave
Roy Acuff

  1. You ask me stranger why I made this journey
    why cross 3 thousand miles of rolling waves
    like many others my loved one's killed in action
    so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave

    Somewhere among these many thousands
    of Americans who died true and brave
    that's where I know I'll find him resting
    so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave

  2. Beside each cross mark here all around me
    I'll lean down and gladly pray a prayer
    for all of their loved ones
    back home across the ocean
    whose heart like mine is buried over here

    Somewhere among these many thousands
    of Americans who died true and brave
    that's where I know I'll find him resting
    so I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
