jamie lin wilson - alice lyrics
[verse 1]
alice shot a possum out of her persimmon tree
and she left it in the orchard for all its possum friend to see
crack shot with a .22 when she was ninety-three
she was only five feet tall but she was twice as wise as me
[chorus]
oh, alice, i wish i knew you better
you’re as pretty as a flower, tough as saddle leather
i learned more from you that day than all life’s teachers put together
oh, alice, dear friend of mine
[verse 2]
oh, alice had a pickup truck and one day we were talking
said that she was all done driving, she was better off a-walkin’
said “i sent my driver’s license to the local dmv
but the dang fools must be crazy ’cause they sent it back to me
[chorus]
oh, alice, i wish i knew you better
you’re as pretty as a flower, tough as saddle leather
i learned more from you that day than all life’s teachers put together
oh, alice, dear friend of mine
[verse 3]
alice never had a husband, brother never took a wife
yeah, they farmed that brazos river bottomland near all their life
brother went to heave, alice covered up his face
standing by his bedside while she sang “amazing grace”
[chorus]
oh, alice, i wish i knew you better
you’re as pretty as a flower, tough as saddle leather
i learned more from you that day than all life’s teachers put together
oh, alice, dear friend of mine
oh, alice, dear friend of mine
