He said, "Son, hold it still, keep that beam shinin' straight"
He'd have a 9/16ths in one hand, workin' on that Chevrolet
It seemed like every Saturday soon as the sun went down
We'd be huddled under-neath that hood tinkering around
(Pre-Chorus)
And of all of the great memories I've had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad
He'll never how much he taught me out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars
'Cause to this day I still can't make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight
He told me a lot of stories about grandpa and the war
While he was trying to show me what a car-buretor's for
I learned a couple cuss words when he skinned his knuckles up
And I found out Momma was the only girl he ever really loved
(Pre-Chorus)
And of all of the great memories I've had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad
He'll never how much he taught me out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixing cars
'Cause to this day I still can't make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot, just holding the flashlight
And to this day I still can't make them run right
But deep in-side I know that it's alright
'Cause I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight
