lyrics

there's flags all around me and the cemetery's crowded
as people light their grills for memorial day
i'm sitting in the grass and getting angry at your headstone
i'm still learning to spit while i cry on your grave

i remember when they told us that your plane had been shot down
and i remember breaking down in your bedroom the next day
it's still the way you left it and it's hard to keep perspective
i'm still learning to spit while i cry on your grave

cuz even though i miss you and i loved you you deserved it
and i'm wondering what right do i even have to cry
when i know that you're the reason for so many empty bedrooms
and kids who grow up terrified of clear blue skies

if i hear that you're a hero one more time i'm gonna break things
but i still visit your headstone for memorial day
and every year i tell myself that next time i'll stay home but
i'm still learning to spit while i cry on your grave

Being super into Western music, cowboys, etc. is a meme to some people. Not to us. This album roars into existence with a driving 12-bar blues and keeps up the energy for 40 straight minutes, bouncing to every esoteric corner of the genre and everywhere in between with perfect execution. Listen to this album, then listen to it again to get all the stuff you missed the first time around. Instant classic. coyotewall
