Rascal Flatts Ellsworth Capo 3rd Fret [Intro] Dsus4 Grandma burned the biscuits nearly took the house down with it Now she’s in assisted living 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 Desota couple of straws in Coca-Cola- you could see it all goin down A handsome boy in army green A tear on his face down on a knee A 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 blacks 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 Sayin goodnight for the next three 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 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la nostalgie et les souvenirs d'une grand-mère qui, malgré sa perte de mémoire, se remémore avec émotion des moments passés auprès de son défunt mari. On découvre le contraste entre sa vie d'aujourd'hui, marquée par la confusion et la solitude, et les instants précieux qu'elle a vécus à Ellsworth en 1948. Les détails de leur amour, des lettres et des souvenirs de jeunesse renforcent la profondeur de ses reminiscences. Le contexte met en lumière les effets de la vieillesse et de la maladie sur la mémoire, tout en célébrant la beauté des souvenirs qui demeurent vivants dans le cœur, même quand le présent devient flou. La chanson, d'une simplicité touchante, rappelle l'importance des liens émotionnels qui, malgré le temps, continuent de briller à travers les souvenirs.
