Cactus In A Coffee Can - Jerry Kilgore[00:00:00]

She had the window and I had the aisle[00:00:13]

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

Child[00:00:21]

When we took off[00:00:22]

I looked over and clutched in her hands[00:00:26]

Was this cactus in a coffee can[00:00:30]

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

She had[00:00:37]

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

Sad[00:00:43]

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

She said elena then told me she came[00:00:56]

From santa fe[00:01:00]

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

She started talkin' and the pain poured out[00:01:08]

She told me a story I'll never forget[00:01:12]

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

And said[00:01:20]

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

She made her livin' lyin' on her back[00:01:25]

She gave me away on the day that I was[00:01:30]

Born[00:01:36]

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

Down[00:01:44]

Y'know it just don't seem fair that when I finally[00:01:45]

Found[00:01:48]

Her she was almost gone[00:01:48]

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

Two weeks to say hello and goodbye[00:01:57]

She gave me this cactus said it's kinda like me[00:02:01]

It'll hurt you to hold it but it blooms every[00:02:05]

Spring[00:02:10]

She said I'm on my way back to new mexico[00:02:18]

Was gonna scatter her ashes where the desert winds blow[00:02:22]

But I came up with a better plan[00:02:27]

I'm gonna keep 'em in the bottom of this coffee[00:02:31]

Can[00:02:35]

My mama was a tortured soul[00:02:36]

But I still love her even though[00:02:40]

She gave me away on the day that I was[00:02:45]

Born[00:02:50]

The plane touched down and we both got off[00:02:54]

I took her hand and said sorry for your loss[00:02:59]

She said thanks for listening for being here[00:03:02]

I've been wantin' to talk about her for so many[00:03:07]

Years[00:03:10]

Now I'll probably never see elena again[00:03:12]

We met as strangers and parted as friends[00:03:16]

As we waved goodbye I was sure of one thing[00:03:20]

There'll be a flower on that cactus come next spring[00:03:24]
