Numbers On The Cars |
Stopped by that house on Nesbitt Lake |
He sittin' in his easy chair |
Watchin' the Sunday evenin' race |
Tells me my grandma’s in the other room |
Guess he forgot we laid her down |
It’ll be a year come June |
Then he mumbles about Vietnam |
He don’t know who the hell I am |
But the drivers, he tells me who they are |
He still knows the numbers on the cars |
Try to get him out like we used to |
Now I load the truck and I drive the boat |
'Cause there ain’t much he can do |
Cast him a line and watched it as it sank |
Thinkin' how we used to talk for hours |
Now he just stares at the bank |
He used to know every stop in this fishin' hole |
Though he probably thinks that we’re in Mexico |
But he knows his way around that boat |
Even in the dark |
And he still knows the numbers on the cars |
I know he ain’t all there |
But I don’t care |
My mind still full of memories with him |
And he may not know |
All the words to the song |
But he still knows Merle Haggard’s voice when he hears it |
Stopped by that house on Nesbitt Lake |
With a couple of tickets |
To go see the Sunday evenin' race |
As we watched those cars fly around the track |
I asked the Lord for just one more time bring my old friend back |
Then somewhere around lap 23 |
The old man turned and smiled at me |
For a moment I know he knows where we are |
'Cause he still knows the numbers |
He still knows the numbers |
He still knows the numbers on the cars |
