Decoration Day Lyrics

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Decoration Day

ItÅ Decoration Day.
And IÅ e a mind to roll a stone on his grave.
But what would he say.
?"eeping me down, boy, wonÅ keep me away

ItÅ Decoration Day.
And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,
but my Daddy wasnÅ afraid.
He said ?eÅ l fight till the last LawsonÅ last living day

I never knew how it all got started
a problem with Holland before we were born
and I donÅ know the name of that boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldnÅ walk anymore.
But I know the caliber in DaddyÅ 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 ManÅ favorite son.
He said, ?Æ’eat him real good but donÅ dare let him die
and if you see Holland Hill run.
Now I said, ?â€¢hey ainÅ give us trouble no more
that we ainÅ brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
and IÅ l send all the Hill Boys to hell.

ItÅ Decoration Day
and IÅ e got a family in Mobile Bay
and theyÅ e never seen my DaddyÅ grave.
But that donÅ bother me, it ainÅ 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.

ItÅ Decoration Day
and IÅ e got a mind to go spit on his grave.
If I was a Hill, IÅ Å½ have put him away
and IÅ Å½ fight till the last LawsonÅ last living day.
IÅ Å½ fight till the last LawsonÅ last living day.
IÅ Å½ fight till the last LawsonÅ last living day.
