Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He folds his hands, lets the room breathe
One look, he can read through the loose leaves
Keeps it plain, no need to perform
Steady on the porch when the pressure gets warm
He talks slow, like he measures each word
Every line land clean, every point get heard
Got that calm where the doubt don't stay
Like he seen the storm and it moved that way
He ain't loud, but the facts get set
Checks the hinges, trims the threads, clears debt
If the plan ain't right, he rewrites the frame
Then he sits back cool like, "Watch that change"
[Chorus]
My dad, he know the time
Calm mind, sharp mind
My dad, he know the time
When it’s time, he draw that line
My dad, he know the time
Slow steps, strong spine
My dad, he know the time
When it’s time, he draw that line
[Verse 2]
Sunday in the driveway, hood up low
Hands on the wrench like he already know
What sounds off, what bolts need fit
He don't guess much, he just handle it
When the air gets tense, he don't sway
He'll let the noise pass, then he move that way
Got a file in his head for the right and wrong
And a quiet kind of fire that don't take long
Seen him at the table with the whole thing mapped
Every move in place, never chasing the scraps
If it's gotta be done, he don't flinch at the load
Just nod once deep, then he gets to the road
[Bridge]
When the world gets shaky, he stays in the frame
Same calm face, same steady name
Then the second it counts, he don't waste no breath
Just one hard nod and he handles the test
[Chorus]
My dad, he know the time
Calm mind, sharp mind
My dad, he know the time
When it’s time, he draw that line
My dad, he know the time
Slow steps, strong spine
My dad, he know the time
When it’s time, he draw that line
[Outro]
Yeah, calm till the moment calls
Then he moves like a lock on walls
My dad, he know the time
And I learned that line
