Paul Revere's Ride to The Wall

Ride to the Wall


This project would not have been possible without Rolling Thunder, who invited us to do a free musical tribute at their annual veteran’s demonstration in Washington, D.C.; Paul Allen, whose “Experience Music Project” in Seattle provided the ideal venue for the kickoff concert, EMP’s Ben London who coodinated the event, Richard Foos and Mark Pinkus of Rhino Entertainment, who worked with us in manufacturing the Ride To The Wall CD, Steve Mueller and his staff at Signature Design for the design and production of the CD Booklet and a special thanks to Larry Leasure, we couldn’t have done it without you. To them, Adrian Cronauer, Heather French Henry and my good friend Dick Clark, a heartfelt “thank you” for helping us help America’s veterans. --Paul Revere

Ride To The Wall


Lyrics By Tommy D.

Music By C. Driggs & O. Martinez

Now here’s a story that needs to be told, Of a midnight ride not the one of old

Paul Revere with his rock band, Told his Raiders he had a plan

Rolling Thunder bikers heard the call. Fired up their hogs and headed for the Wall

Coast to coast the veteran brothers grew, To show in numbers ‘cause they all knew



We’ll ride to the Wall the Vietnam shrine

To honor those who put it all on the line

We’ll ride to the Wall...the price they had to pay

Young warriors in blood for the U.S. of A. ... USA



Some say get over it, it’s in the past. But the Wall is proof that their story will last

Tears in our eyes as choppers flew overhead, Reminds us of the veterans living and dead

Rolling Thunder bikers side by side, Remembering names carved in the Wall who had died

Harley’s roaring by the thousands they ride, To the big black Wall with honor and pride



Chorus



Wall of my soul ... Vietnam Vet, Ride to the Wall ... Never forget

Wall of my soul ... Vietnam Vet, Ride to the Wall ... Never forget



Chorus



Wall of my soul ... Vietnam Vet

Ride to the Wall but you never forget

With love in our hearts - we ride to the Wall

See the names of my brothers and sisters

Too young to have died ... I’ll never forget

Ride to the Wall ... our Vietnam Vets

Wall of my soul
