For the longest time, I guess I thought
He didn't give a damn
Hard to read, 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

[Chorus:]
He checked the air in my tires
The belts and all the spark plug wires
Said "When the hell's the last time
"You had this oil changed"
And as I pulled out the drive
He said "Be sure and call your mom sometime"
And I didn't hear it then
But I hear it now
He was saying "I love you"
(He was saying "I love you")
The only way he knew how

120,000 miles
Six years down the road
A brand new life and a brand new wife
We'd 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
Said "Come and hold this flashlight"
As he crawled beneath the sink
And "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

Last Sunday, we all gathered
For his 65th birthday
And I knew he'd stiffen up
But I hugged him anyway
When it was finally time to say goodbye
I knew what was next
Just like he always does
Right before we left

[Repeat Chorus]

He knew how


Mirror lyrics:

He knew how

[Repeat Chorus]

Right before we left
Just like he always does
I knew what was next
When it was finally time to say goodbye
But I hugged him anyway
And I knew he'd stiffen up
For his 65th birthday
Last Sunday, we all gathered

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

He just got his tool belt out
He never said he liked the place
I thought he'd be so proud
When he finally came to visit
We'd just bought our first home
A brand new life and a brand new wife
Six years down the road
120,000 miles

The only way he knew how
(He was saying "I love you")
He was saying "I love you"
But I hear it now
And I didn't hear it then
He said "Be sure and call your mom sometime"
And as I pulled out the drive
"You had this oil changed"
Said "When the hell's the last time
The belts and all the spark plug wires
He checked the air in my tires
[Chorus:]

He had too much to do
We never had that heart-to-heart
It was nothing new
On the day I left for college
Yeah, that was my old man
Hard to read, hard to please
He didn't give a damn
For the longest time, I guess I thought
