[Verse]
Turning wrenches til my hands got worn
Under that hood I was barely ever torn
Frustration breathing but it felt so right
Knuckles bleeding in the cold garage light
[Verse 2]
Dad's old tools rattling where they lay
Echoes of lessons he’d show me each day
His voice a memory I can't let go
In that home town where the engines still glow
[Chorus]
Metal screams and the oil runs black
Time won't stop but it always looks back
Missing the sound of his steady tone
Fixing engines so I’m not alone
[Verse 3]
Dust on the workbench time hasn’t touched
Schematics scrawled in pencil he’d clutched
Each gear he turned like a story untold
Every lesson priceless yet I feel so cold
[Bridge]
Fingers on steel but my soul feels bare
Without his guidance that lingers in the air
Searching for answers in a spinning wheel
Lost in this metal trying to feel
[Chorus]
Metal screams and the oil runs black
Time won't stop but it always looks back
Missing the sound of his steady tone
Fixing engines so I’m not alone
