Corb Lund - What That Song Means Now Lyrics
I heard all them pretty girls singin’ all them pretty words, oh wowNow I'm sick and broken hearted and I know what that song means nowI heard ‘em sing old blues and sing about the mules and ploughI heard ‘em sing their blues and sing about their mules and ploughNow I'm hardscrabble farmin’ and I know what that song means nowReveille was called and I thought about the laurel boughReveille was called and I dreamt about the laurel boughMy legs have both been shattered and I know what that song means nowMy sons have both been slaughtered and I know what that song means nowI heard a little bird chirp and then I thought I heard a meowI heard a little bird, he chirped and then I thought I heard a meowBut I been walking around hungry and I know what that song means nowI heard ‘em sing the hymns and I heard fire and brimstone avowedI heard ‘em sing their hymns and in tongues I heard brimstone avowedBut brother, I found the Lord and I know what that song means nowAnd that collection plate goes ‘round and I know what that song means now
