Elephant - Live

She said Andy, you're better than your past
 Winked at me and drained her glass
 Cross-legged on a 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, sweep up the hair from her floor
 If I'd 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 our 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
 Seagram's in a coffee cup
 Sharecropper eyes, and the hair almost all gone
 When she was drunk, she made cancer jokes
 Made up her own doctors' notes
 Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone
 So 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 burn these joints in effigy and cry about what we used to be
 And try to ignore the elephant somehow, somehow
 ♪
 I've buried her a thousand times, given 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
