I didn't know what he was thinking when he took off my training wheels As he pushed me down the driveway right there on my heels Passing Grandpa's Buick, I felt him letting go In no time I was riding, riding like the wind I wish I had a Polaroid of the way I made him grin I didn't think to thank him for the way he helped me grow But I know he knows When I turned 16 those two wheels turned into four I begged him for a Mustang but I got the family Ford All my buddies laughed at me I cussed him down the road Next week Jimmy Taylor went straight through Dead Man's Curve I stood there at the grave site, I didn't say a word I didn't think to thank my dad I wasn't in that GTO But I know, he knows He knew me better than I knew myself All I should've said to him before he left Always a victim of my own certain sins But thanks to the Father, I'll have another chance Last Sunday morning as I heard the word of God I knew my daddy was his child and I was not I wish he could've been here To see the Lord save my soul But I know, he knows But I know, he knows
