[00:00.000] 作词 : Green, Riley
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Green, Riley
[00:14.58]Stopped by that house on Esmond Lake
[00:20.90]He's sittin' in his easy chair,
[00:23.74]Watchin' a Sunday evenin' race
[00:28.90]Tells me my grandma's in the other room
[00:35.27]Guess he forgot we laid her down,
[00:38.41]It'll be a year come June
[00:43.29]Then he mumbles about Vietnam
[00:46.46]He don't know who the hell I am
[00:49.98]But the drivers, well, he tells me who they are
[00:55.21]I guess He still knows the numbers on the cars
[01:05.80]We try to get him out like we used to
[01:11.06]But now I load the truck and I drive the boat
[01:15.11]'Cause there ain't much he can do, no
[01:19.88]Cast him a line and watched it as it sank
[01:25.00]Thinkin' how we'd used to talk for hours
[01:29.21]Now he just stares at the bank
[01:32.55]He used to know every stop in this fishin' hole
[01:37.77]Though he probably thinks that we're in Mexico
[01:41.09]But he knows his way around that boat, even in the dark
[01:46.73]And he still knows the numbers on the cars
[01:53.52]I know he ain't all there but I don't care
[01:59.88]My mind's still full of memories with him
[02:05.59]And he may not know all the words to the songs
[02:12.49]But he still knows Merle Haggard's voice when he hears it
[02:22.87]I stopped by that house on Esmond Lake
[02:29.37]With a couple of tickets to go see a Sunday evenin' race
[02:37.09]As we watched those cars fly around the track
[02:43.66]I asked the Lord if just one more time
[02:46.91]He'd bring my old friend back
[02:51.16]Then somewhere around lap 23
[02:54.44]That old man turned and smiled at me
[02:57.93]And for a moment I know he knows where we are
[03:03.76]'Cause he still knows the numbers
[03:07.18]Yeah, he still knows the numbers
[03:10.65]He still knows the numbers, numbers on the cars
[03:19.60]Yeah, he still knows the numbers
[03:23.81]
