I might've sprinkled some John Denver on my Cheerios this morning.

Working title was "Every Time Aunt Chris Came Over"

Ice cream cones and cherry sodas Every time Aunt Chris came over Doesn't seem like all that long ago

She would turn onto our street I would race her car Never locked my bicycle up Left if laying in the yard

When we had ice cream cones and cherry sodas Every time Aunt Chris came over Doesn't seem like all that long ago

She had a laugh my mama called a cackle She had a way all her own She had something nice to say about everyone And we had

Ice cream cones and cherry sodas Every time Aunt Chris came over Doesn't seem like all that long ago

The illness came and took her quickly She didn't get much sympathy That's how I learned there are people like Aunt Chris And others who are so mean

She lived on the other side of the tracks But she always came to visit I never cared much about her reputation I just loved my mother's sister

And ice cream cones and cherry sodas Every time Aunt Chris came over Doesn't seem like all that long ago

Ice cream cones and cherry sodas Every time Aunt Chris came over Doesn't seem like all that long ago
