Gettin' to be that time of year
We come to know an ol' gal
Seems she was around a 100 years old
We'd often take her home
From where...don't know
She just had this sign, on the back of her cart
Ride Needed
She'd always have this heavy winter coat on
Middle of summer
Baseball cap
Tennies
Rotten tennies
She was a lug, gettin' her into the car
Dead weight is heavy
After a few of these trips, we got to really know her
Asked her if she needed anything
She had this favorite song
Said she hadn't heard it for a very long time
I bought the cassette
Thanksgiving came
We invited her
After our meal, and getting her situated, I set up the player by her good ear
Thought she'd dehydrate from so many tears
Gave her the cassette.....and player
Now, heh, it's me that gets touched
