It's Decoration Day.

And I've a mind to roll a stone on his grave.

But what would he say.

"Keeping me down, boy, won't keep me away."

It's Decoration Day.

And I knew the Hill Boys would put us away,

but my Daddy wasn't afraid.

He said "We'll fight till the last Lawson's last living day"

I never knew how it all got started

a problem with Holland before we were born

and I don't know the name of that boy we tied down

and beat till he just couldn't walk anymore.

But I know the caliber in Daddy's 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 Man's favorite son.

He said, "Beat him real good but don't dare let him die

and if you see Holland Hill run.

Now I said, "they ain't give us trouble no more

that we ain't brought down on ourselves"

But a chain on my back and my ear to the floor

and I'll send all the Hill Boys to hell.

It's Decoration Day

and I've got a family in Mobile Bay

and they've never seen my Daddy's grave.

But that don't bother me, it ain't 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.

It's Decoration Day

and I've got a mind to go spit on his grave.

If I was a Hill, I'd have put him away

and I'd fight till the last Lawson's last living day.

I'd fight till the last Lawson's last living day.

I'd fight till the last Lawson's last living day.

I'm not sure why everyone gets this wrong, but in both the "Truckers" version and Isbell's live version, it's "keeping me down boy won't keep YOU away."Also, it's "no one" rather than "noone"

rarely do you hear a song from the "bad guys" perspective, but drive by trucker's got quite a few, it's like this with western films too (like shane, hang em high, high noon), there's only a hand-full that show that the bad guy is human too and he's fighting for his own definition of right, this is a brilliant song, I highly recommend you guys watch a film called "shotgun stories", it's probably inspired by this song, great film

I'm a cousin of "Dude Lawson" who was shot and killed in "Decoration Day". My daddy, Billy Lawson and I sat down one night and recorded hours of tapes about the Lawson family. You really have to be an outlaw to be a Lawson! I love being one of the Lawson's!!

This song is too good for most radio stations to play. Could you imagine radio programmers with good stuff like this to play? Their feeble minds would explode.

I've heard the lyrics of The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" described as "literature." This masterpiece is of the same quality. Bravo, Mr. Isbell.

I see it as he is hating his father all the way. But it's a familily thing, or rather a blood feud, and you do not choose side, it's al ready decided, because of blood.
