Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day Lyrics
It? Decoration Day.And I?e a mind to roll a stone on his grave.But what would he say.?eeping me down, boy, won? keep me awayIt? Decoration Day.And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,but my Daddy wasn? afraid.He said ?e?l fight till the last Lawson? last living dayI never knew how it all got starteda problem with Holland before we were bornand I don? know the name of that boy we tied downand beat till he just couldn? walk anymore.But I know the caliber in Daddy? chestand I know what Holland Hill drives.The state let him go, but I guess it was bestcause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive.Daddy said one of the boys had come bythe Lumber Man? favorite son.He said, ?eat him real good but don? dare let him dieand if you see Holland Hill run.Now I said, ?hey ain? give us trouble no morethat we ain? brought down on ourselvesBut a chain on my back and my ear to the floorand I?l send all the Hill Boys to hell.It? Decoration Dayand I?e got a family in Mobile Bayand they?e never seen my Daddy? grave.But that don? bother me, it ain? marked anyway.Cause I got dead brothers in Lauderdale southand I got dead brothers in east Tennessee.My Daddy got shot right in front of his househe had noone to fall on but me.It? Decoration Dayand I?e got a mind to go spit on his grave.If I was a Hill, I? have put him awayand I? fight till the last Lawson? last living day.I? fight till the last Lawson? last living day.I? fight till the last Lawson? last living day.
