《Cactus in a Coffee Can》歌词

[00:00:00] Cactus in a Coffee Can - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:14] She had the window and I had the aisle

[00:00:17] She looked twenty-five but she was shakin' like a child

[00:00:22] When we took off I looked over and clutched her hands

[00:00:30] There was a cactus in a coffee can

[00:00:34] She was holdin' that thing like it was all she had

[00:00:39] She smiled at me but I could tell she was sad

[00:00:51] Somewhere over Denver I asked her name

[00:00:56] She said Elena then told me she came from Santa Fe

[00:01:04] She ordered a drink and a wall came down

[00:01:09] Yeah she started talkin' and the pain poured out

[00:01:13] She told me a story I'll never forget

[00:01:17] She had me in tears when she looked at me and said

[00:01:22] My mama's first love was crack

[00:01:26] She made her livin' lyin' on her back

[00:01:31] She gave me away the day that I was born

[00:01:40] She said "The last ten years I spent trackin' her down"

[00:01:45] It just don't seem fair

[00:01:47] That when I finally found her she was almost gone

[00:01:53] We had two weeks to laugh and to cry

[00:01:58] Two weeks to say hello and goodbye

[00:02:02] She gave me this cactus said it's kinda like me

[00:02:06] It'll hurt you to hold it but it blooms every spring

[00:02:19] She said I'm on my way back to New Mexico

[00:02:23] Was gonna scatter her ashes where the desert winds blow

[00:02:28] But I came up with a better plan

[00:02:32] Gonna keep 'em on the bottom of this coffee can

[00:02:38] My mama was a tortured soul

[00:02:41] But I still love her even though

[00:02:46] She gave me away on the day that I was born

[00:02:56] The plane touched down and we both got off

[00:03:00] I took her hand and said sorry for your loss

[00:03:04] She said thanks for listening for being here

[00:03:09] I've been wantin' to talk about her for so many years

[00:03:13] Now I'll probably never see Elena again

[00:03:17] We met as strangers and parted as friends

[00:03:21] As we waved goodbye I was sure of one thing

[00:03:26] There'll be a flower on that cactus come next Spring
