Intro: (Dsus2) (G) (Dsus2) (G)
(G) Stopped by that (A) house on Nesbitt (Dsus2) Lake
(G) Sittin' in his (A) easy chair
Watchin' the (Bm) Sunday (A) evenin' (G) race
(G) Tells me my (A) grandma's in the other (Bm) room
(G) Guess he forgot we (A) laid her down
It'll (Bm) be a (A) year come (G) June
Then he (G) mumbles about Vietnam
(A) He don't know who the hell I am
But the (Bm) drivers, he (A) tells me who they (G) are
I guess (Em) he still knows the (A) numbers on the (Dsus2) cars (G)
(G) Try to get him (A) out like we used (Dsus2) to
(G) Now I load the truck and (A) I drive the boat
'Cause there (Bm) ain't much (A) he can (G) do
Cast him a line and (A) watched it as it (Bm) sank
Thinkin' how we (G) used to talk for (A) hours
Now he (Bm) just stares (A) at the (G) bank
(G) He used to know every stop in this fishin' hole
(A) Now he probably thinks that we're in Mexico
But he (Bm) knows his way a(A)round that boat
(G) Even in the dark
(Em) He still knows the (A) numbers on the (Dsus2) cars
(G) I know he ain't all there
But (A) I don't care
My (Bm) mind's still full of (A) memories with (G) him
And (G) he may not know
All the (A) words to the song
But he (Bm) still knows Merle Haggard's (A) voice when he (G) hears it
(G) Stopped by that (A) house on Nesbitt (Dsus2) Lake
(G) With a couple of (A) tickets
To go see the (Bm) Sunday (A) evenin' (G) race
As we watched those (A) cars fly around the (Bm) track
(G) I asked the Lord for (A) just one more time he'd (Bm) bring my (A) old friend (G) back
Then (G) somewhere around lap 23
The (A) old man turned and smiled at me
For a (Bm) moment I know (A) he knows where we (G) are
'Cause (Em) he still knows the (A) numbers
(D) He still (D/F#) knows the (G) numbers
(Em) He still knows the (A) numbers on the (Dsus2) cars
(G) (Dsus2) (G)
