[Intro]
[Verse]
Grain dust dancing in the light
Morning sun is shining bright
Stacking bags of heavy corn
Since the early break of morn
Behind the glass a faded face
Tucked inside this dusty space
A tattered edge and silver hair
Watching over everything in there
[Pre-Chorus]
I see his smile through the cracks
Taking all the memories back
To the shade of that old oak tree
Where he taught a boy to be
[Chorus]
We were covered in the grease
Finding such a quiet peace
Wrench in hand and engine oil
Working through the summer soil
He’d say "Listen to the hum"
Wait until the spark will come
Just a boy and his best friend
Watching summer never end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, listen to the hum
Wait until the spark will come
Keep the picture on the shelf
He’s a part of me myself
[Verse]
That seventy-four Chevy blue
Needed work and he just knew
How to make the pistons roar
Like they never did before
He’d wipe his hands upon his vest
Telling me I did my best
I can hear his gravelly tone
Even when I'm all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows long across the floor
Closing up the heavy door
But I look back one more time
At the mountain he helped me climb
[Chorus]
We were covered in the grease
Finding such a quiet peace
Wrench in hand and engine oil
Working through the summer soil
He’d say "Listen to the hum"
Wait until the spark will come
Just a boy and his best friend
Watching summer never end
[Bridge]
The fiddle cries a lonely tune
Underneath a harvest moon
The world keeps moving way too fast
But I am holding to the past
Not with sorrow, not with tears
Just the weight of golden years
[Verse]
A neighbor asks if I'm okay
I just smile and look away
Point toward the tattered frame
Whisper softly his old name
He left the tools, he left the pride
Now he's riding by my side
In every bolt and every gear
I still feel him standing near
[Chorus]
We were covered in the grease
Finding such a quiet peace
Wrench in hand and engine oil
Working through the summer soil
He’d say "Listen to the hum"
Wait until the spark will come
Just a boy and his best friend
Watching summer never end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, listen to the hum
Wait until the spark will come
Keep the picture on the shelf
He’s a part of me myself
[Outro]
