I Just Came Home To Count The Memories 歌词

I Just Came Home To Count The Memories I saw roses choking in the grass Flaking paint a broken windowpane A mailbox barely standin’ by the driveway I can almost see the name A swing set and forgotten toys Where little boys and girls played happy games Everything I gave a damn about is gone But all the memories still remain The old man from the house across the street Asked how’s it going and I said fine The expression on his face would make me think That he could almost read my mind That Johnson boy from down the road was asking if The kids could come and play Lord, I wish I could have told him yes, but I Just said I guess son, not today I just came home to count the memories That I’ve been counting in my mind I just came home to count the memories Of a better day and time The birds that sang their pretty songs Aren’t singing like they did when you were here ‘Cause there’s no happiness in music If somebody isn’t close enough to hear I picked a ragged daisy from its home Out in the corner of the yard She loves me, she loves me not Now I don’t have to wonder anymore I just came home to count the memories That I’ve been counting in my mind I just came home to count the memories I guess time to say goodbye
