For the longest time I guess I thought He didn't give a damn Hard to read and hard to please Yeah, that was my old 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 He 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 A hundred twenty thousand miles And six years down the road Brand new life, 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 old wires ain't up to code And that circuit box is gonna over load 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 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 And as we pulled out the drive he said Be sure and call your Mom sometime And I wish I knew back then what I know now He was saying I love you The only way he knew how
