Jeff Davis Pie
Jeff Davis Pie
Well Mamma called me up 'n said, 'It's your grandma's birthday son, so you 'n Sheryl need to come--- and bring the girls.' She said that it was 80 years since Grandma'd taken her first breath, and a party with all the family'd 'mean the world...' Well 80 years is a long time to hang around if you count your age by time. But Grandma's 80 years was like a small slice of her Jeff Davis pie, and we all think a second 80'd be just fine! Well, Grandma came from Arkansas 'n that's where she me my grandpa 'n they had three daughters--- each ten years apart. She cooked the meals 'n washed the clothes and I think she even had time to sew a dress or two or three or forty-four. Well 80 years is a long time to hang around if you count your age by time. But Grandma's 80 years was like a small slice of her Jeff Davis pie, and we all think a second 80'd be just fine! Now I remember trips across the mountain, 'round about Christmas time--- that queasy feelin' when we took a curve too fast. But I remember pullin' up to that screened-in porch and thinkin' we'd surprise 'em 'till my brother let the screen door slam. I remember cinnamon rolls and eatin' raw dough 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 and old lipsticks in the bottom drawer and that big steel bed that squeaked beneath my head... And those gas room-heaters and the magnifying mirror and that plastic-shrunken-head souvenir and coleslaw and toastin' buttery bread... And the time that Grandpa gave me a gun and I shot that squirrel that was old as the sun and Grandma softened him up in a dumplin' stew... And when we'd go to church she'd pass around the Certs after service, then we'd all go home to eat 'n sleep till 2, or 3 or 4 or 5 or. 80 years is a long time to hang around if you count your age by time. But Grandma's 80 years was like a small slice of her Jeff Davis pie, and we all think a second 80'd be just fine! Now, some people like to QUANTIFY and graph their lives like pieces of pie and subdivide their story like a book. But 80's just a number... and don't it make you wonder why somebody'd slice up a pie if it's just for looks? You best dig right in, cause… 80 years is a long time to hang around if you count your age in time. But Grandma's 80 years was like a little bitty slice of her Jeff Davis pie, and we all think a second 80'd be just fine! Cause the spice of life sure ain't time---No, it's Grandma 'n Grandpa 'n Jeff Davis pie.
