Decoration Day (Live at Flicker Bar - Athens, GA - June 20th, 2002)

[Segue]
Y'all have an okay time?
Everybody raisin' some hell?
Rock on
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time, Jason Isbell
(I didn't ask)
The title cut on the next record (Woo-hoo, uh-huh)

[Verse 1]
It's Decoration Day
And I've a mind to roll a stone on his grave
What would he say?
"Keepin' me down, boy, won't keep you away"
It's Decoration Day
And I knew the Hill boys would put us away
But my daddy wasn't afraid
He said we'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last livin' day
Well, I never knew how it all got started
A problem with Hollan before we were born
And I don't know the name of the boy we tied down
And beat 'til he just couldn't walk anymore
But I know the caliber in daddy's chest
I know what Hollan Hill drives
The state let him go, but I guess it was best
'Cause nobody needs all us Lawsons alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
And my daddy said one of the boys had come back
The lumberman's favorite son
He said "Beat him real good, boys, but don't dare let him die
And if you see Hollan Hill, run"
Well I said, "They ain't give us trouble before
We haven'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
I'll send all the Hill boys to hell

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It's Decoration Day
And I've a mind to go spit on his grave
What will he say?
([?])
It's Decoration Day
And I've a mind to go spit on his grave
If I was a Hill, I'd have put him away
And I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last livin' day
I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last livin' day
I'd fight 'til the last Lawson's last livin' day

[Applause]
