David Cobb - Elephant lyrics

She said, "Andy, you're better than your past" Winked at me and drained her gla** Crosslegged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore She said, "Andy, you're taking me home" But I knew she planned to sleep alone I'd carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor If I had f**ed 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**h about the weekend crowd And try to ignore the elephant somehow Somehow She said, "Andy, you crack me up" Seagrams in a coffee cup Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone When she was drunk she made cancer jokes Made up her own doctor's notes Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone I'd sing her cla**ic country songs And she'd get high and sing along She don't have a 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 I've buried her a thousand times Giving up my place in line But I don't give a damn 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
