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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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