Ellsworth - Rascal Flatts

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 to gone to drive
The day she parked on i 65
Found her on the shoulder cryin'
She didn't know where she was
Its like her mind just quit
Oh but bring up grandpa- it's like someone flipped a switch

A front porch light and a blue Desota,
couple a straws in a coca cola:
You can 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 a'cracklin'
Walkin' her home in his letter jacket,
You can see it all goin' down
A perfect night on a front porch glider,
Saying goodnight for the next 3 hours
Her tired eyes go 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
Sharing 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
Just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
