[Lyrics for Drive,,By Truckers – Decoration Day]
Its Decoration Day.
And Ive a mind to roll a stone on his grave.
But what would he say.
Keeping me down, boy, wont keep me away.
Its Decoration Day.
And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,
but my Daddy wasnt afraid.
He said Well fight till the last Lawsons last living day
I never knew how it all got started
a problem with Holland before we were born
and I dont know the name of that boy we tied down
and beat till he just couldnt walk anymore.
But I know the caliber in Daddys 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 Mans favorite son.
He said, Beat him real good but dont dare let him die
and if you see Holland Hill run.
Now I said, they aint give us trouble no more
that we aint brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor
and Ill send all the Hill Boys to hell.
Its Decoration Day
and Ive got a family in Mobile Bay
and theyve never seen my Daddys grave.
But that dont bother me, it aint 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.
Its Decoration Day
and Ive got a mind to go spit on his grave.
If I was a Hill, Id have put him away
and Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day.
Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day.
Id fight till the last Lawsons last living day.
