In the demo version of Jason Isbell's "Elephant," he sings:
When she was drunk, she made cancer jokes
Made up her own doctors' notes
Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone
But I'd sing her Harry Nilsson songs
And she'd get high and sing along
She don't have a voice to sing with now
In the version released on his 2013 album Southeastern, he replaces "Harry Nilsson songs" with "classic country songs" in the lyrics.
