Obviously, a woman from a different time
Her children let the government put her away
Chorus
Wipe the dirt off your hands
Chorus
When you brought over those records
Chorus
Mama wrote down the size of your shoes
"This is a story about the downfall of our batty neighbor. She first introduced herself saying "My name is
Iris... obviously." - Beth

Socialite expression and arrogant smile
Picking through dumpsters and planting purple wild flowers
Neighbors preyed through her things
'fore the truck came next day
Judge and the jury 27 thousand dollars paid
Mama wrote down the size of your shoes
Went from your father to your husband , you obeyed
Pictures of Iris's
Were all that's saved
Keep the records closed
No one stands in black
Just talk behind your back
Hanging like wet clothes
Shut the blinds
No one knows
and that dress I've been saving
for someday, someday
Rhinestones and a long string of pearls
In your front yard
A glass of lemonade
Some classic books
An oil painting
It just sits out in the rain
I say to myself
Someday it might be you
