Rascal Flatts - Ellsworth

Grandma burned the biscuits

Nearly took the house down with it

Now she s in assisted livin

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

Oh, but bring up Grandpa

It s like someone flipped a switch

A front porch light and a blue Desoto

Couple of straws in a Coca-Cola

You could see it all goin down

A handsome boy in army green

A tear on his face, down on a knee

Shaky voice, a diamond ring

She ll put you in that town

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 games and leaves

Are cracklin

Walking her home in his letter jacket

You can see it all goin down

A perfect night on a front porch

Glider

Sayin goodnight for the next

Three hours

Her tired eyes grow wide and bright

When she talks about that town

Tomorrow she won t remember

What she did today

But just ask her about Ellsworth,

Kansas 1948

While the world is fading

All around her

Sharin a sundae at the counter

He s goin on and on about her

Bet she s right there right now

Tomorrow she won t remember

What she did today

But just ask her about Ellsworth,

Kansas 1948
