《Potholes》歌词

[00:00:00] Potholes - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)

[00:00:12] I love women

[00:00:16] Have all my life

[00:00:23] I love my dear mother

[00:00:26] And I love my wife - God bless her

[00:00:32] I even love my teenage daughter

[00:00:34] There's no accounting for it

[00:00:36] Apparently I don't care how I'm treated

[00:00:39] My love is unconditional or something

[00:00:42] I've been hurt a time or two

[00:00:45] I ain't gonna lie

[00:00:52] I have my doubts sometimes

[00:00:54] About the ethics of the so-called fairer sex

[00:00:58] Fair about what

[00:01:00] But I find time goes by

[00:01:03] And one forgives as one forgets

[00:01:06] And one does forget

[00:01:10] God bless the potholes

[00:01:13] Down on memory lane

[00:01:20] God bless the potholes

[00:01:23] Down on memory lane

[00:01:29] Everything that happens to me now

[00:01:31] Is consigned to oblivion by my brain

[00:01:39] I remember my father

[00:01:42] My brother of course

[00:01:49] I remember my mother

[00:01:51] I spoke of her earlier and I remember that

[00:01:58] I remember the smell of cut grass

[00:02:00] And going off to play ball in the morning

[00:02:04] Funny story about that

[00:02:06] Now I used to pitch

[00:02:08] I could get the ball over the plate

[00:02:11] But anyway this one time

[00:02:15] I must of thrown a football around or something

[00:02:16] The day before

[00:02:19] I walked about fourteen kids in a row

[00:02:23] Cried

[00:02:25] Walked off the mound

[00:02:27] Handed the ball to the third baseman

[00:02:29] And just left the field

[00:02:32] Anyway many years later

[00:02:37] I brought the woman who was to become my

[00:02:39] Second wife - God bless her

[00:02:41] To meet my father for the first time

[00:02:45] They exchanged pleasantries

[00:02:46] I left the room for a moment

[00:02:48] It was the first time he had met her you understand

[00:02:50] When I came back

[00:02:52] He was telling her the story

[00:02:55] Right off the bat

[00:02:56] About how I had walked fourteen kids

[00:02:58] Cried and left the mound

[00:03:01] Next time he met her told her the same

[00:03:03] Goddamn story

[00:03:05] God bless the potholes

[00:03:08] Down on memory lane

[00:03:15] God bless the potholes

[00:03:18] Down on memory lane

[00:03:25] I hope some real big ones open up

[00:03:27] And take some of the memories that do remain
