Lyrics
AUNTY IDA
(verse)
I pulled up to her house, it was a bit past eight
The six month anniversary of our first date
Her hot pink sweater looked so great with high heel boots
But she flashed the saddest smile an' said "I've got bad news
My favorite aunt is staying here from out of town
Instead of going out, could we just stick around?"
(chorus)
Aunty Ida, she's known her since her birth
Aunty Ida, the true salt of the earth
That lady's always let the good book guide her
Aunty Ida
(verse)
She shuffled kinda slowly leanin' on her cane
And I said it three, four times 'til she got my name
She asked me what my job is, was I from the South
And plopped herself between us right there on the couch
I poured a drink and asked her could she stand a taste
Her hands were crooked, but she drank that bourbon straight.
(chorus)
Aunty Ida, a blue haired bodyguard
Aunty Ida, only ninety pounds, but hard
And she thinks that men got more arms than a spider
Aunty Ida.
(bridge)
I prayed that she'd get sleepy but that woman didn't yawn
And I knew that she'd have sat there if I'd hung around 'til dawn
So I said good night to both of them and walked out the front door
And I swear as it was closin' I could hear that woman snore
(chorus)
Aunty Ida, maybe someday we'll be friends
Aunty Ida, I know she'll be back again
But I won't be the person to invite her
Aunty Ida
