High Valley - The Only Way He Knew How[00:00:00]

For the longest time he was the kind I just didn't understand[00:00:11]

Hard to read and hard to please yeah that was my old man[00:00:17]

On the day I left I for college it was nothing new[00:00:22]

We never had that heart to heart he had too much to do[00:00:28]

He checked the air in my tires the belts and all the sparkplug wires[00:00:35]

He said "When was the last time you had this oil changed "[00:00:41]

And as I pulled out the drive he said [00:00:46]

"Be sure to call your mom sometime"[00:00:49]

And I didn't hear it then but I hear it now[00:00:52]

He was saying "I love you " the only way he knew how[00:00:58]

A hundred twenty thousand miles and 6 years down the road[00:01:16]

Brand new life a brand new wife we just bought our first home[00:01:21]

When he finally came to visit I thought he'd be so proud[00:01:27]

He never said he liked the place he just got his tool belt out[00:01:32]

And put knew locks on the doors [00:01:39]

Went back and forth to the hardware store[00:01:42]

He said "Come and hold this flashlight" [00:01:45]

As he crawled beneath the sink[00:01:48]

"These old wires ain't up to code[00:01:51]

And that circuit box is gonna overload"[00:01:53]

And I didn't hear it then but I hear it now[00:01:56]

He was saying "I love you" the only way he knew how[00:02:02]

But on Sunday we all gathered for his 65th birthday[00:02:11]

And I knew he'd stiffen up but I hugged him anyway[00:02:17]

It was finally time to say goodbye I knew what was next[00:02:23]

Just like he always did right before we left[00:02:29]

He checked the air in my tires [00:02:35]

The belts and all the sparkplug wires[00:02:38]

Said "When was the last time you had this oil changed "[00:02:41]

And as we pulled out the drive he said [00:02:46]

"Be sure to call your mom sometime"[00:02:49]

And I wish I knew back then what I know now[00:02:52]

He was saying "I love you" [00:02:57]

He was saying "I love you" the only way he knew how[00:03:03]
