lirik lagu elephant (live) – jason isbell
[verse 1]
she said, “andy, you’re better than your past”
winked at me and drained her glass
cross*legged on the barstool, like n0body sits anymore
she said, “andy, you’re taking me home”
but i knew she planned to sleep alone
i’d carry her to bed, sweep up the hair from the floor
[refrain]
if i had f*cked her before she got sick
i’d never hear the end of it
she don’t have the spirit for that now
we just drink our drinks and laugh out loud
b*tch about the weekend crowd
and try to ignore the elephant somehow
somehow
[verse 2]
she said, “andy, you crack me up”
seagram’s in a coffee cup
sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone
and when she was drunk, she made cancer jokes
she made up her own doctor’s notes
i’m surrounded by her family, i saw that she was dying alone
[refrain]
i’d sing her classic country songs
she’d get high and sing along
but she don’t have much voice to sing with now
we burn these joints in effigy
cry about what we used to be
try to ignore the elephant somehow
somehow
somehow
[instrumental break]
[outro]
i’ve buried her a thousand times
giving up my place in line
but i don’t give a d*mn 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
