Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The garage door creaks open wide Dust is drifting like the tide That old Ford sits inside Waiting for a phantom ride I touch the rusted fender side Holding back the tears I hide [Pre-Chorus] Smell of grease and cherry gum Engine used to have a hum Keys are heavy, feeling numb Thinking of where I come from [Chorus] Oh, the sun is slanting through Painting everything in gold and blue I found the heart he always knew Tucked away and sticking like glue He kept the love I gave him then Paper worn so paper thin Safe within his calloused skin [Verse] Box of wrenches on the floor Oil stains by the passenger door In the dash, a leather fold Worn and gray and growing old A crumpled page begins to unfold The greatest story ever told [Pre-Chorus] His shaky hand on yellowed lines Simple words and holy signs Just days before he had to go Things he wanted me to know [Chorus] Oh, the sun is slanting through Painting everything in gold and blue I found the heart he always knew Tucked away and sticking like glue He kept the love I gave him then Paper worn so paper thin Safe within his calloused skin [Bridge] I saw my messy childhood ink The kind that makes your spirit sink Then rise again above the brink Stronger than a heavy link He carried me through every mile Hidden in his weary smile [Solo] [Chorus] Oh, the sun is slanting through Painting everything in gold and blue I found the heart he always knew Tucked away and sticking like glue He kept the love I gave him then Paper worn so paper thin Safe within his calloused skin [Post-Chorus] He kept it close (Kept it close) Through the rain and the snow (Rain and snow) He let the whole world know (Whole world know) That love is how we grow (How we grow) [Outro]
