The Hooters

The Hooters (frequently listed simply as "Hooters", without the definite article) are an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By combining a mix of rock and roll, reggae, ska and folk music, The Hooters first gained major commercial success in the United States in the mid 1980s due to heavy radio and MTV airplay of several songs including "All You Zombies", "Day by Day", "And We Danced" and "Where Do the Children Go". Their popularity resulted in the band opening the Philadelphia portion of the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985. more »

Did you think I could ever forget 
The night by the Arlington flame 
In the silence I heard it 
Through streets so deserted 
You whispered and called me by name 

Did you think I could ever forget 
That powerful look in your eye 
Where Lincoln stood strong there 
You held me so long there that night 
On the fourth of July 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way 
Hope you'll be here with me 
Home on Washington's day 

Now when this world and that world collide 
And the powers that be hit you low 
When you're feeling so small in the face of it all 
And you're lost on eternity row 

When the wars that men wage are all through 
And their monuments put on display 
Tell the hungry and stranded 
The poor empty handed 
We'll meet them on Washington's day 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way 
Hope you'll be here with me 
Home on Washington's day 

Did you think I could ever forget 
The night by the Arlington flame 
Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years 
You whispered and called me by name 

And when the sun goes down 
At the end of the day 
You know I'll always remember 
You who were tender to me 
On Washington's day 

I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me 
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea 
And the visions that come are the visions that stay 
Hope you'll be here with me 
Home on Washington's day
