Ellsworth
Capo 3rd Fret
Intro - - - - -
Grandma burned the biscuits, nearly took the house down with it,
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,
A front porch light and a blue Desota,
A couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,
you could see it all goin down,
A handsome boy in army green,
A tear on his face down on a knee,
A 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, blacks 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,
Sayin 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 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
