Testo Decoration Day Driveby Truckers
Itæ¯ Decoration Day.
And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,
but my Daddy wasnæ° afraid.
He said æ¥eæ£l fight till the last Lawsonæ¯ last living day
I never knew how it all got started
a problem with Holland before we were born
and I donæ° know the name of that boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldnæ° walk anymore.
But I know the caliber in Daddyæ¯ 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 Manæ¯ favorite son.
He said, æeat him real good but donæ° dare let him die
and if you see Holland Hill run.
Now I said, æhey ainæ° give us trouble no more
that we ainæ° brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
and Iæ£l send all the Hill Boys to hell.
Itæ¯ Decoration Day
and Iæ³e got a family in Mobile Bay
and theyæ³e never seen my Daddyæ¯ grave.
But that donæ° bother me, it ainæ° 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.
Itæ¯ Decoration Day
and Iæ³e got a mind to go spit on his grave.
If I was a Hill, Iæ have put him away
and Iæ fight till the last Lawsonæ¯ last living day.
Iæ fight till the last Lawsonæ¯ last living day.
Iæ fight till the last Lawsonæ¯ last living day.
