Mama keeps tryinâ to get the game on the radioDaddyâs gotta know the score
Thereâs a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer
Wonder what that thingâs forWe got towels rolled up in the back seat window
Keeping us out of the sunJust a hundred more miles and weâll be at grandmaâs
Sure is gonna be fun
Maybe sheâll take us fishinâ
Maybe sheâll bake us a pieRemember like she did that one time
Back before grandpa died
Itâs Memorial Day in America
Everybodyâs on the road
Letâs remember our fallen heroes
Yâall be sure and drive slow
Ninety eight degrees in the shade of the tool shed
Canât go back in the house
Theyâre all in the kitchen yellinâ âbout something
Donât know what itâs about
Joey ân Mary said not to worry
Said itâs just the same old figh
tHappens whenever they all get together
Everythingâs really alright
Itâs Memorial Day in America

This is how itâs supposed to be
Letâs remember our fallen heroesIn the land of the free
Daddyâs in the big chair sippinâ on a cold beer
Grandmaâs cuttinâ a switch
She overheard Mary cussinâ her brother
Called him a son of a bitch
She got a good green limb off a sweet gum sapling
Man thatâs bound to sting
But Mary donât cry just stands there and takes it
Doesnât seem to feel a thing
No Mary donât cry, you know sheâs a big girl
Wonder what made her so mad
She takes those licks looking in through the den door
Staring right straight at her dad
Thereâs a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer
Daddy nearly hit that bird
Theyâre both in the front seat
Starinâ right straight ahead
Neither one saying a word
The sunâs going down in the rear view mirror
Gonna be driving all night
Wonder if the neighborâs fed the canary
Wonder if the catâs alright
