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
