Arlington (song)

"Arlington" is a song written by Jeremy Spillman and Dave Turnbull and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins.

The song reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003.

"[3] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a positive review, calling it a "hauntingly beautiful song about sacrifice, honor, and the cost of freedom, and it leaves a lasting impression no matter which way your political views lean.

The song fell from this peak after Adkins withdrew it, due to complaints from families of service members.
