Jason Isbell: Elephant

ELEPHANT
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 just drink our drinks and laugh out loud,

and bitch about the weekend crowd,

and try to ignore the elephant somehow
