A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)

 

A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)

(Album: High Valley - 2010)


For the longest time he was the kind I just didn't understand
Hard to read and hard to please, yeah that was my old man
On the day I left for college, it was nothing new
We never had that heart to heart, he had too much to do

He checked the air in my tires, the belts and all the spark-plug wires
He said "When was the last time you had this oil changed?"
And as I pulled out the drive he said, "Be sure to call your mom sometime"
And I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
He was saying "I love you," the only way he knew how

A hundred twenty thousand miles and 6 years down the road
Brand new life, a brand new wife, we just bought our first home
When he finally came to visit, I thought he'd be so proud
He never said he liked the place, he just got his tool belt out

And put new locks on the doors, went back and forth to the hardware store
He said "Come and hold this flashlight", as he crawled beneath the sink
"These old wires ain't up to code and that circuit box is gonna overload"
And I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
He was saying "I love you", the only way he knew how

But on Sunday we all gathered for his 65th birthday
And I knew he'd stiffen up, but I hugged him anyway
It was finally time to say goodbye, I knew what was next
Just like he always did right before we left

He checked the air in my tires, the belts and all the spark-plug wires
Said "When was the last time you had this oil changed?"
And as we pulled out the drive he said, "Be sure to call your mom sometime"
And I wish I knew back then what I know now
He was saying "I love you",
He was saying "I love you", the only way he knew how
