She Smoked In The House

(专辑： Brandy Clark - 2023)

She smoked in the house
Burnt holes in the couch
Lipstick-circled butts in the ashtray

She saved in Folgers cans
Swore credit was a scam
Bought everything at Sears on layaway

She was Ford over a Chevy
Pepsi over Coke
Country or western, Owens or Jones
That kitchen radio was playing loud

She smoked in the house
Wouldn't throw nothing out
She'd cut the mold off cantaloupe and cheese

The Farmer's Almanac
Told her when to plant
Petunias, potatoes and peas

She was never take a handout always stand up for the flag
Country and western, Loretta and Hag
That kitchen radio was singing loud

And I hate cigarettes
But I miss all that smoke
That my grandma blew
Back when I grew up
With her and that radio

She smoked in the house
She'd laughed and crush one out
Light another and put coffee in her cream
And it's 1984
And I'm asking for one more
Story when I see her in my dreams
