Stopped by that house on Nesbitt Lake He's sittin' in his easy chair Watchin' a 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, well, he tells me who they are I guess he still knows the numbers on the cars Try to get him out like we used to But now I load the truck and I drive the boat 'Cause there ain't much he can do, nah 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 Well no, 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 songs But he still knows Merle Haggard's voice when he hears it I 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 if just one more time He'd bring my old friend back Then somewhere around lap twenty-three That old man turned and smiled at me and For a moment I know he knows where we are And he still knows the numbers Yeah, he still knows the numbers He still knows the numbers Numbers on the cars Yeah, he still knows the numbers
