What That Song Means Now

(专辑： Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! - 2007)

I heard all them pretty girls singing all them pretty words, and how
I heard all them pretty girls singing all them pretty words, oh wow
Now I'm sick and broken hearted and I know what that song means now

Well, I heard 'em sing ol' blues
And sing about the mules and plows
I heard 'em sing ol' blues
And sing about the mules and plows
Now I'm on a scrambled dirt farm
And I know what that song means now

Well, reveille was called and I thought about the law, oh bound
Well, reveille was called and I dreamt about the law, oh bound
Well, my legs had 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

Well, I heard a little bird chirping then I thought I heard a meow
Yeah, I heard a little birdie chirping then I thought I heard a meow
But I been walking round hungry and I know what that song means now

Well, I heard him sing the hymns and I heard fire and brimstone about
I heard him sing the hymns and in his songs I heard brimstone about
Well, brother I found the lord and I know what that song means now
When that collection plate goes plate round and I know what that song means now
