Potholes - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)[00:00:00]
I love women[00:00:12]
Have all my life[00:00:16]
I love my dear mother[00:00:23]
And I love my wife - God bless her[00:00:26]
I even love my teenage daughter[00:00:32]
There's no accounting for it[00:00:34]
Apparently I don't care how I'm treated[00:00:36]
My love is unconditional or something[00:00:39]
I've been hurt a time or two[00:00:42]
I ain't gonna lie[00:00:45]
I have my doubts sometimes[00:00:52]
About the ethics of the so-called fairer sex[00:00:54]
Fair about what [00:00:58]
But I find time goes by[00:01:00]
And one forgives as one forgets[00:01:03]
And one does forget[00:01:06]
God bless the potholes[00:01:10]
Down on memory lane[00:01:13]
God bless the potholes[00:01:20]
Down on memory lane[00:01:23]
Everything that happens to me now[00:01:29]
Is consigned to oblivion by my brain[00:01:31]
I remember my father[00:01:39]
My brother of course[00:01:42]
I remember my mother[00:01:49]
I spoke of her earlier and I remember that[00:01:51]
I remember the smell of cut grass[00:01:58]
And going off to play ball in the morning[00:02:00]
Funny story about that[00:02:04]
Now I used to pitch[00:02:06]
I could get the ball over the plate[00:02:08]
But anyway this one time[00:02:11]
I must of thrown a football around or something[00:02:15]
The day before[00:02:16]
I walked about fourteen kids in a row[00:02:19]
Cried[00:02:23]
Walked off the mound[00:02:25]
Handed the ball to the third baseman[00:02:27]
And just left the field[00:02:29]
Anyway many years later[00:02:32]
I brought the woman who was to become my[00:02:37]
Second wife - God bless her[00:02:39]
To meet my father for the first time[00:02:41]
They exchanged pleasantries[00:02:45]
I left the room for a moment[00:02:46]
It was the first time he had met her you understand[00:02:48]
When I came back[00:02:50]
He was telling her the story[00:02:52]
Right off the bat[00:02:55]
About how I had walked fourteen kids[00:02:56]
Cried and left the mound[00:02:58]
Next time he met her told her the same[00:03:01]
Goddamn story [00:03:03]
God bless the potholes[00:03:05]
Down on memory lane[00:03:08]
God bless the potholes[00:03:15]
Down on memory lane[00:03:18]
I hope some real big ones open up[00:03:25]
And take some of the memories that do remain[00:03:27]
