pay no attention to alice

pay no attention to alice

she's drunk all the time

hooked on that wine

bunches of it

and it ruined her mind. pay no attention to alice

they say she's a sot

sane she is not

but she loves it

and it's all she's got. she made that apple pie from a memory

made them biscuits from a recollection that she had. she cooked that chicken too long but she don't know that

oh what the hell

it ain't too bad. don't talk about the war

i was a coward

talk about fishing and all the good times raisin' hell. empty that one down

we'll get another one

it's getting late

you might as well. though we ram your car into a ditch

man don't sweat it

i know ben down at the shell station and he'll get it out. alice

put your ashes in that ashtray

i swear woman

you're gonna burn down the house. pay no attention to alice

she's drunk all the time.
