Album: Treasure
Verse 1
For the longest time I guess I thought
He didn't understand
Hard to read and hard to please
Yeah that's my old man
Verse 2
On the day that I left home
It was nothing new
We never have that heart to heart
He had too much to do
Pre-Chorus
He checked me in my times
The belts and all the sparkled wires
Said son when's the last time
You had this all change
Chorus
And this apple out the drive
He said be sure and call your mom sometime
I didn't hear a thing but I hear it now
He would say and I love you
The only way he knew how
Verse 3
A hundred-twenty thousand miles
And six years down the road
A brand new life
A brand new wife
We had just bought our first home
Verse 4
When he finally came to visit
I thought he'd be so proud
He never said he liked the place
He just got this to built out
Verse 5
I put new locks on the doors
Went back and forth to the hardware stores
Said come and hold this flashlight
As he crawled beneath the sink
Verse 6
He is so wise enough to cope
And that circuit box is gonna overload
I didn't hear a thing but I hear it now
He would say and I love you
The only way he knew how
Verse 7
Last sunday we all gathered for his sixty-fifth birthday
I knew hits different but I hug him anyway
When it was finally time to said goodbye
I knew what was next
Just like we always does
Right before we left
Pre-Chorus
He checked me in my times
The belts and all the sparkled wires
Said son when's the last time
You had this all change
Chorus
And this apple out the drive
He said be sure and call your mom sometime
I wish I knew back then what I know now
He would say and I love you
He would say and I love you
The only way he knew how
