Pay No Attention to Alice Lyrics by Patterson Hood

Killers and Stars

0

(Tom T. Hall wrote this sing about a friend of his. His wife was an alcoholic.)
Pay no attention to Alice, she's drunk all the time
Hooked on that wine, bunches of it, and she lost her mind
Pay no attention to Alice, you know she's a sot, sane she is not
But she loves it and it's all she's got
She made that apple pie from a memory
Bakin' biscuits from a recollection that she had
She cooked that chicken too long, she don't know it
Oh what the heck, you know it ain't that bad
Pay no attention to Alice, she's drunk all the time
Hooked on that wine, bunches of it, and she lost her mind
Pay no attention to Alice, you know she's a sot, sane she is not
But she loves it and it's all she's got
Talk about the war, I was a coward
Let's talk about good things like fishing and raising hell
Drink this one down, Tom, we'll buy another
It's gettin' late, ah what the hell
But we ran your car into a ditch, ah man, don't sweat it
We'll call Ben down at the Shell Station, he'll get it out
Alice put that ash out in the ashtray
Crazy woman, you're gonna burn down the house
Pay no attention to Alice, she's drunk all the time
