She said Andy you're better than your past,

winked at me and drained her glass,

cross-legged 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 hadd fucked her before she got sick

I'd never hear the end of it

she don't have the spirit for that now


We drink these drinks and laugh out loud,

bitch 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,

she made up her own doctor's notes,

surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone. 


I'd sing her classic country songs

and she'd get high and sing along.

She don't have much voice to sing with now


We'd burn these joints in effegy,

cry about what we used to be,

and try to ignore the elephant somehow.

Somehow 


I 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.

Она сказала, Энди, что ты лучше своего прошлого,

подмигнула мне и осушила свой стакан,

Сидя на барном стуле, скрестив ноги, как будто никто больше не сидит.

Она сказала, Энди, ты принимаешь меня домой

но я знал, что она планировала спать одна.
вЂЁЯ бы отнёс её в постель и подмел волосы с пола


Если бы я трахнул её до того, как она заболела
вЂЁЯ никогда не услышу конца
—у нее сейчас нет духа для этого


Мы пьем эти напитки и громко смеемся,

хрена из-за толпы на выходных,
--и попробуй как-нибудь проигнорировать слона

как-нибудь


Она сказала, Энди, ты меня рассмешил,

Сигрэмс в чашке кофе,
вЁиздольные глаза и волосы почти полностью исчезли.

Когда она была пьяна, она шутила о раке,
—она составляла себе записи врача,
—В окружении своей семьи я видел, что она умирала одна. ЂЁ
—Я пел ей классические кантри-песни
—а она кайфовала и подпевала.
—У нее сейчас не так уж много голоса, чтобы петь
—Мы' буду сжигать эти суставы в чучелах,
>>плачу о том, какими мы были раньше,

и пытаться как-то игнорировать слона.

Как-то -Я хоронил ее тысячу раз,
—уступаю место в очереди,
—но мне теперь на это наплевать


Одно мне совершенно ясно,
—никто не умирает достойно.

Мы просто пытаемся как-то игнорировать слона.

Мы просто пытаемся как-то игнорировать слона.

Мы просто пытаемся как-то игнорировать слона.

Как-то.

Как-то.

Mountains rough this time of year 
Close the highway down 
They don't warn the town 

And I've been fighting second gear 
For fifteen miles or so

From the sky we look so organized and brave 
Walls that make up barricades and graves 
Daddy's little empire built by hands and built by slaves 
From the sky we look so

I've heard love songs make a Georgia man cry 
On the shoulder of somebody's Saturday night 
Read the good book, studied it too 
But nothing prepared me for living

Don't want to die in a Super 8 Motel

Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well 
If I ever get back to Bristol 
I'm better off sleeping in a county
