Chris Young Flashlight song lyrics

He'd say, "Son, hold it still, keep that beam shinin' straight"

He'd have a [Incomprehensible] workin' on that Chevrolet

It seemed like every Saturday soon as the sun went down

We'd be huddled underneath that hood tinkerin' around

And of all the great memories I have

The best ones are those nights, just me and my dad

He'll never know how much he taught me out in that garage

And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixin' cars

'Cause 'til this day I still can't make 'em run right

But I sure did learn a lot just holdin' the flashlight

He told me a lot of stories about grandpa and the war

While he was tryin' to show me what a carburetor's for

And I learned a couple curse words when he'd skin his knuckles up

And I found out mama was the only girl he ever really loved

But when I asked him about women, he just laughed

He said, if we stayed out here all year

We wouldn't have time enough for that

He'll never know how much he taught me out in that garage

And I guess the stuff that stuck was more about life than fixin' cars

'Cause 'til this day I still can't make 'em run right

But I sure did learn a lot just holdin' the flashlight

Now 'til this day I still can't make 'em run right

But deep inside I know that's all right

'Cause I sure did learn a lot just holdin' the flashlight

Thanks, old man
