歌手名 High Valley

作曲：Liz Hengber/Steve Williams/Thom Shepherd

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

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

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

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
