I'm gonna thank you so much for
Doing this
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
But you bring up grandpa
It's like someone flipped a switch
A front porch light and a blue Desoto
Couple of straws and a Coca-Cola
You can see it all going down
A handsome boy in army green
Tear on his face down on a knee
Shaky voice a diamond ring
She'll put you there right now
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 we games and leaves a cracklin'
Walkin' her home in his letter jacket
You can see it all going down
They sit down 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
Just ask her about Ellsworth
Kansas 1948
While the world is fading all around her
Sharing a Sunday at the counter
He's going on and on about her
She's right there right now
Tomorrow she won't remember
What she did today
But just ask about Ellsworth
Kansas 1948
