What That Song Means Now

歌詞

I heard all them pretty girls singin' all them pretty words, and how I heard all them pretty girls singin' all them pretty words, oh wow Now I'm sick and broken hearted and I know what that song means now I heard ‘em sing old blues and sing about the mules and plough I heard ‘em sing their blues and sing about their mules and plough Now I'm hardscrabble farmin' and I know what that song means now Reveille was called and I thought about the laurel bough Reveille was called and I dreamt about the laurel bough My legs have both been shattered and I know what that song means now My sons have both been slaughtered and I know what that song means now I heard a little bird chirp and then I thought I heard a meow I heard a little bird, he chirped and then I thought I heard a meow But I been walking around hungry and I know what that song means now I heard ‘em sing the hymns and I heard fire and brimstone avowed I heard ‘em sing their hymns and in tongues I heard brimstone avowed But brother, I found the Lord and I know what that song means now And that collection plate goes ‘round and I know what that song means now
