Текст песни The Only Way He Knew How - High Valley

For the longest time he was the kind that just didn't understand
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
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 I pulled out the drive,
He said be sure to call your mom sometime
I didn't hear it then but I hear it now
He was saying I looove you, the only way he knew how
(Music)
120 thousand miles, six years down the road
Brand new life, a brand new life 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 door,
Went back and forth to the hardware store
And 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 then but I hear it now
He was saying I looove you
The only way he knew how
That 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 ways did, right before we left
He'd check 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 I 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 looove you
He was saying I looove you
The only way he knew how.
