Elephant歌词

作曲 : Jason Isbell

She said Andy you're better than your past

Winked at me and drained her glass

Cross-legged on the barstool
Like nobody sits anymore

She said Andy you're taking me home
But I knew she planned to sleep alone

I'd carry her to bed and sweep up

The hair from the floor
If I hadd ****ed her before she got sick
I'd never hear the end of it
She don't have the spirit for that now

We drink these drinks and laugh out loud
***** about the weekend crowd

And try to ignore the elephant somehow

Somehow

She said Andy you crack me up

Seagrams in a coffee cup

Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone

When she was drunk she made cancer jokes
She made up her own doctor's notes

Surrounded by her family
I saw that she was dying alone

I'd sing her classic country songs
And she'd get high and sing along

She don't have much voice to sing with now

We'd burn these joints in effegy

Cry about what we used to be

And try to ignore the elephant somehow
Somehow

I buried her a thousand times

Giving up my place in line

But I don't give a damn about that now

There's one thing that's real clear to me
No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow

We just try to ignore the elephant somehow

We just try to ignore the elephant somehow

Somehow

Somehow
