Potholes - Randy Newman.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Newman
[00:12.90]I love women
[00:13.83]
[00:16.45]Have all my life
[00:17.70]
[00:23.07]I love my dear mother
[00:24.50]
[00:26.06]And I love my wife - God bless her
[00:28.37]
[00:32.01]I even love my teenage daughter
[00:33.63]
[00:34.43]There's no accounting for it
[00:36.08]
[00:36.77]Apparently I don't care treatedhow I'm
[00:38.12]
[00:39.12]My love is unconditional or something
[00:40.67]
[00:42.79]I've been hurt a time or two
[00:45.10]I ain't gonna lie
[00:46.04]
[00:52.47]I have my doubts sometimes
[00:54.21]About the ethics of the so-called fairer sex
[00:56.71]
[00:58.27]Fair about what?
[00:59.08]
[01:00.76]But I find time goes by
[01:02.09]
[01:03.52]And one forgives as one forgets
[01:05.33]
[01:06.45]And one does forget
[01:07.52]
[01:10.39]God bless the potholes
[01:12.14]
[01:13.88]Down on memory lane
[01:15.13]
[01:20.68]God bless the potholes
[01:22.24]
[01:23.43]Down on memory lane
[01:24.80]
[01:29.53]Everything that happens to me now
[01:30.92]
[01:31.92]Is consigned to oblivion by my brain
[01:33.91]
[01:39.54]I remember my father
[01:41.38]
[01:42.75]My brother of course
[01:43.86]
[01:49.54]I remember my mother
[01:50.67]
[01:51.98]I spoke of her earlier and I remember that
[01:54.10]
[01:58.47]I remember the smell of cut grass
[02:00.40]And going off to play ball in the morning
[02:02.40]
[02:04.15]Funny story about that
[02:05.08]
[02:06.77]Now I used to pitch
[02:07.95]
[02:08.95]I could get the ball over the plate
[02:10.51]
[02:11.95]But anyway, this one time
[02:13.13]
[02:15.19]I must of thrown a football around or something
[02:16.90]The day before
[02:17.72]
[02:19.09]I walked about fourteen kids in a row
[02:21.27]
[02:23.27]Cried
[02:23.71]
[02:25.33]Walked off the mound
[02:26.39]
[02:27.14]Handed the ball to the third baseman
[02:29.57]And just left the field
[02:31.07]
[02:32.32]Anyway, many years later
[02:35.28]
[02:37.78]I brought the woman who was to become my
[02:39.44]Second wife - God bless her
[02:41.06]To meet my father for the first time
[02:42.87]
[02:45.05]They exchanged pleasantries
[02:46.20]
[02:46.82]I left the room for a moment
[02:48.83]It was the first he time had met her you understand
[02:50.67]When I came back
[02:51.54]
[02:52.85]He was telling her the story
[02:54.06]
[02:55.43]Right off the bat
[02:56.24]
[02:56.93]About how I had walked fourteen kids
[02:58.35]Cried and left the mound
[02:59.60]
[03:01.42]Next time he met her told her the same
[03:03.59]Goddamn story!
[03:04.33]
[03:05.52]God bless the potholes
[03:06.83]
[03:08.77]Down on memory lane
[03:09.88]
[03:15.93]God bless the potholes
[03:17.06]
[03:18.50]Down on memory lane
[03:19.51]
[03:25.20]I hope some real big ones open up
[03:26.90]
[03:27.65]And take some of the memories that do remain
[03:29.90]
