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


For the longest time, I guess I thought

He didn't give a damn

Hard to read, hard to please

Yeah, that was my ole man

 

On the day I left for college,

It was nothin' 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 the hell's 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 six years down the road

A brand new life and a brand new wife

And 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

 

"These ole 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 sixty-fifth birthday

I knew he'd stiffen up, but I hugged him anywway

When it was finally time to say goodbye, I knew what was next

Just like he always does, right before we left

 

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
