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, six years down the road A brand new life, a brand new wife, and 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 doors, went back and forth to the hardware store He said "Come and hold this flashlight", as he crawled beneath the sink "Well these old wires ain't up to code, and that circuit box is gonna overload" I didn't hear it then but I hear it now He was saying "I love you, " the only way he knew how Well last Sunday we all gathered for his sixty-fifth birthday Well 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 "Son, when’s the last time you had this oil changed?" 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" He was saying "I love you, " the only way he knew how
