[Intro]
G A D
[Verse 1]
G A D
Stopped by that house on Ezma Lake
G A D A G
Sittin in his easy chair, watchin the Sunday evening race
G A D
Tells me my grandmas in the other room
G A D A G
Guess he forgot we laid her down, be a year come June
[Chorus]
G A
Then he mumbles about Vietnam, he don’t know who the hell I am
Bm A G
But the drivers, well he tells me who they are
Em A D
He still knows the numbers on the cars
[Verse 2]
G A D
Try to get him out like we used to
G A D A G
Now I load the truck and I drive the boat, cause their ain’t much he can do
G A Bm
Cast him a line and watched it as it sank
G A D A G
Thinkin how he used to talk for hours, now he just stares at the bank
[Chorus]
G
He used to know every stump in this fishin hole
A Bm A G
Now he probably thinks we’re in Mexico, but he knows his way around that boat, even in the dark
Em A D
He still knows the numbers on the cars
[Hook]
G A
Well no he ain’t all there, but I don’t care
D A G
My minds still full of memories of him
G A
And he may not know all the words to the songs
D A G
But he knows Merle Haggards voice when he hears it
[Verse 3]
G A D
Stopped by that house on Ezma lake
G A D A G
With a couple of tickets to go see a Sunday evening race
G A Bm
As we watched those cars fly around the track
G A D A G
I asked the Lord for just one more time to bring my old friend back
[Chorus]
G A
Then somewhere around lap 23, the old man turned and smiled at me
Bm A G
And for a moment, I know he knows where we are
Em A
Cause he still knows the numbers
G A
He still knows the numbers
Em A D
He still knows the numbers on the cars
