Alice Lyrics by Jamie Lin Wilson

2019

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Alice shot a possum out of her persimmon tree
And she left it in the orchard for all its possum friends to see
Crack shot with a .22 when she was ninety-three
She was only five feet tall but she was twice as wise as me

[Chorus]
Oh, Alice, I wish I knew you better
You're as pretty as a flower
Tough as saddle leather
I learned more from you that day than all life's teachers put together
Oh, Alice
Dear friend of mine

[Verse 2]
Oh, Alice had a pickup truck and one day we were talking
Said that she was all done driving, she was better off a-walkin'
Said "I sent my driver's license to the local DMV
But the dang fools must be crazy 'cause they sent it back to me"

[Chorus]
Oh, Alice, I wish I knew you better
You're as pretty as a flower
Tough as saddle leather
I learned more from you that day than all life's teachers put together
Oh, Alice
Dear friend of mine

[Verse 3]
Alice never had a husband, brother never took a wife
Yeah, they farmed that Brazos River bottomland near all their life
Brother went to Heaven, Alice covered up his face
Standing by his bedside while she sang "Amazing Grace"

[Chorus]
Oh, Alice, I wish I knew you better
You're as pretty as a flower
Tough as saddle leather
I learned more from you that day than all life's teachers put together
Oh, Alice
Dear friend of mine
Oh, Alice
Dear friend of mine
