[00:15.40]She said Andy you’re better than your past,
[00:19.78]Winked at me and drained her glass,
[00:23.39]Cross-legged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore.
[00:31.26]She said Andy you’re taking me home,
[00:35.44]But I knew she planned to sleep alone.
[00:39.39]I’d carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor
[00:47.05]If I hadd fucked her before she got sick
[00:51.41]I’d never hear the end of it
[00:55.40]She don’t have the spirit for that now
[01:02.55]We drink these drinks and laugh out loud,
[01:07.22]Bitch about the weekend crowd,
[01:10.62]And try to ignore the elephant somehow
[01:17.95]Somehow
[01:22.76]
[01:30.19]She said Andy you crack me up,
[01:34.35]Seagrams in a coffee cup,
[01:38.29]Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone.
[01:45.45]When she was drunk she made cancer jokes,
[01:49.35]She made up her own doctor’s notes,
[01:53.10]Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone.
[02:01.50]I’d sing her classic country songs
[02:05.96]And she’d get high and sing along.
[02:09.34]She don’t have much voice to sing with now
[02:17.01]We’d burn these joints in effegy,
[02:20.84]Cry about what we used to be,
[02:24.56]And try to ignore the elephant somehow.
[02:32.16]Somehow
[02:36.66]I buried her a thousand times,
[02:40.91]Giving up my place in line,
[02:44.16]But I don’t give a damn about that now
[02:51.61]There’s one thing that’s real clear to me,
[02:55.70]No one dies with dignity.
[02:59.26]We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
[03:06.59]We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
[03:14.47]We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
[03:22.53]Somehow.
[03:26.83]Somehow.
