Thanks For Those Kind Words Lyrics by Lightnin’ Luke

Volume 2

2019

[Verse 1]
It’s hard to say if it’s alright, more, anymore
But it’s nice of you to say
It’s hard to say if it’s worth fighting this old war
War don’t even seem so strange today
My lips stiffen
In this prison
Selling false truths to the fools who listen
Hiding out from the world’s heros who have turned
It’s true that things have changed
But I’m afraid it’s for the worse
[Refrain]
But thanks for those kind words
[Verse 2]
It’s hard to see the words, whitewashed on the wall
My memory’s vague at best
It’s hard to see the fallen dragged away from battle
Thirteen dollar plaque remains, looks out and wrecked
Go for help, dear, you’re in trouble
They’ve got you foolеd, dear
Your gold has turned to rubble
Go marching to thе lords
And write your songs like pointed swords
Though those who read these pleas are beaten by the guards
[Refrain]
Thanks for those kind words
[Verse 3]
It’s hard to find a way to use what I’ve been told
When nothings finished yet
It’s hard to go back a-marching to the wall
It’s only dust that’s left
There’s no work here and
We’re all worthless
You can look up all you want
What you need is right below us
You fought for many years, dear
And all it’s brought is tears
And in defeat you put me on the line, to ease your fears
[Refrain]
But thanks for those kind words
