lyrics

She set a blue plate down at noon on the oak table

Grandma cut the green beans thin and said, "boy, be able"

In the screen door shade, she watched him from the yard

Then she shook her head slow, and her eyes stayed hard

She wore her house shoes by the sink

Said, "I don't need a second think"

He brought peonies from North High Street

She said, "Set 'em down, don't call that sweet"

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

She crossed her arms and shut the trust

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Nobody gets a nod from her but us

At six-fifteen, she shelved the peach jam tight

The porch fan clicked once in the June dusk light

He waited by the Buick with his clean white shoes

She wiped her hands on the dish towel and said, "I don't choose"

She wore her house shoes by the sink

Said, "I don't need a second think"

He brought peonies from North High Street

She said, "Set 'em down, don't call that sweet"

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

She crossed her arms and shut the trust

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Nobody gets a nod from her but us

Now the mason jar rings in the cupboard door

And the note on the fridge says "leave it on the floor"

I laugh, she smirks, and I know that look

She likes the ones she can read like a book

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

She crossed her arms and shut the trust

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Not for us

Nobody gets a nod from her but us
