Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day текст песни

ItжЉЇ Decoration Day.
And IжЉіe a mind to roll a stone on his grave.
But what would he say.
жЏ”eeping me down, boy, wonжЉ° keep me away

ItжЉЇ Decoration Day.
And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,
but my Daddy wasnжЉ° afraid.
He said жЏҐeжЉЈl fight till the last LawsonжЉЇ last living day

I never knew how it all got started
a problem with Holland before we were born
and I donжЉ° know the name of that boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldnжЉ° walk anymore.
But I know the caliber in DaddyжЉЇ chest
and I know what Holland Hill drives.
The state let him go, but I guess it was best
cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive.

Daddy said one of the boys had come by
the Lumber ManжЉЇ favorite son.
He said, жЏѓeat him real good but donжЉ° dare let him die
and if you see Holland Hill run.
Now I said, жђ•hey ainжЉ° give us trouble no more
that we ainжЉ° brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
and IжЉЈl send all the Hill Boys to hell.

ItжЉЇ Decoration Day
and IжЉіe got a family in Mobile Bay
and theyжЉіe never seen my DaddyжЉЇ grave.
But that donжЉ° bother me, it ainжЉ° marked anyway.
Cause I got dead brothers in Lauderdale south
and I got dead brothers in east Tennessee.
My Daddy got shot right in front of his house
he had noone to fall on but me.

ItжЉЇ Decoration Day
and IжЉіe got a mind to go spit on his grave.
If I was a Hill, IжЉЋ have put him away
and IжЉЋ fight till the last LawsonжЉЇ last living day.
IжЉЋ fight till the last LawsonжЉЇ last living day.
IжЉЋ fight till the last LawsonжЉЇ last living day.
