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 fucked 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,
"¨bitch about the weekend crowd,
"¨and try to ignore the elephant somehow
"¨somehow
"¨"¨She said Andy you crack me up,
"¨Seagrams in a coffee cup,
"¨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.
