John Anderson Miscellaneous I Just Came Home To Count The Memories (1982) I saw roses choking in the grass, flaking paint and a broken windowpane A mailbox barely standing by the driveway, I can almost read the name A swing set and forgotten toys where little girls and boys played happy games Everything I ever cared about is gone now, but the memory still remains. The old man from the house across the street asked, hows it going and I said fine But 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 no not today I just came home to count the memories That Ive been counting in my mind I just came home to count the memories Of a better day and time. All the birds that sang their pretty songs arent singing like they did when we were here Cause theres no happiness in music if somebody isnt close enough to hear I picked a ragged daisy from its home out in the corner the yard She loves me she loves me not now I dont have to wonder anymore I just came home to count the memories That Ive been counting in my mind I just came home to count the memories I guess its time to say good-bye |
