Lyrics » Me and My Gang

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 to gone to drive The day she parked on I-65. Found her on the shoulder cryin' She didn't know where she was. Its like her mind just quit. Oh but bring up grandpa- its like someone flipped a switch.

A front porch light and a blue Desota, Couple a 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 should 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 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 3 hours. Her tired eyes glow wild 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 But she's right there right now Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948
