When He Knows Me

He talked about burnin' it up In a loaded down truck Haulin' 30 tons Back in the day All those years on the road Gears shifted down low 18 wheels, fast, slow Rolling away Everything he's done And everyone he loved Well, some days he remembers Some days he just don't Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home And you gotta just leave him alone But the light comes on every once in a while Like he was never gone, gives me a smile And we pick up right where we left off Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between When he knows me I've been a foe and a friend And an old field hand Handsome man that he met somewhere That nobody knows 'Cause all he has is the past And he keeps slipping back Happy or sad, good, bad It's a heavy load Everything he's done And everyone he loved Some days he remembers Some days he just don't Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home And you gotta just leave him alone But the light comes on every once in a while Like he was never gone, gives me a smile And we pick up right where we left off Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between When he knows me Some days he remembers And some days he just don't Some days you come knockin' and nobody's home But the light comes on every once in a while Like he was never gone, gives me a smile And we pick up right where we left off Those precious moments are getting fewer and further between When he knows me Yeah, he talked about burnin' it up In a loaded down truck Haulin' 30 tons Back in the day
