grandma burned the biscuits nearly took the house down with ’em now she’s in assisted living we all knew that day would come we knew she was too gone to drive the day she parked on I-65 found her on the shoulder cryin’ she didn’t know where she was it’s like her mind just quit oh but bring up grandpa it’s like someone flipped a switch
front porch light and a blue DeSoto a couple of straws and a coca cola you can see it all goin’ down a handsome boy in army green a tear on his face, down on a knee, shaky voice, a diamond ring she’ll put you in that town tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today but just ask her ‘bout ellsworth, kansas, 1948
she takes out his medals a cigar box of letters sits and scatters pictures black and whites of days gone by we started losin’ her when she lost him but to hear her carry on you’d swear she’s seventeen again
football games and leaves a'cracklin’ walkin’ her home in his letter jacket you can see it all goin’ down a perfect night on a front porch glider saying goodnight for the next three hours her tired eyes go wide and bright when she talks about that town tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today but just ask her ‘bout ellsworth, kansas, 1948
while the world is fading all around her sharing a sundae at the counter he’s going on and on about her but she’s right there right now tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today just ask about ellsworth, kansas, 1948...
