Ellsworth |
Grandma burned the biscuits |
Nearly took the house down with it |
Now she’s in assisted livin' |
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 |
A front porch light and blue Desoto |
Couple of straws in a Coca-Cola |
You could 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 about 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 are cracklin' |
Walking her home in his letter jacket |
You could see it all goin' down |
A perfect night on a front porch glider |
Sayin' goodnight for the next three hours |
Her tired eyes grow wide and bright |
When she talks about that town |
Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today |
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948 |
While the world is fading all around her |
Sharin' a sundae at the counter |
He’s goin' on and on about her |
Bet she’s right there right now |
Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today |
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948 |
