Everything I Know – Country Song About a Father Handing Down His Truck | Harlan Road

Everything I Know – an original country storytelling song about handing over the keys, and everything a father can't teach in one morning. Harlan Road. Call me when you get there. Just call. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LYRICS She's got a hundred ninety thousand and a dent above the wheel And a heater that takes twenty minutes till you feel The second gear will fight you if you rush her in the cold But she's never left me standing and she's never left me stalled And I know you wanted newer and I know you wanted clean But there's things this truck can teach you that a new one never will So here's the keys and here's my hand And everything I know Check the oil, keep your word Take it slower than you want to go That's everything I know Your grandfather sat where you're sitting on a morning much like this And he gave me the same speech and about half of it I missed And I found out on my own the way that everybody has to And I'll be here for the part where you find out too 'Cause I can't put the years in you, there's no way that I can You've got to drive it out and get the miles in your hands So here's the keys and here's my hand And everything I know Check the oil, keep your word Take it slower than you want to go That's everything I know Call me if she quits on you Call me if she don't Call me when you get there Just call So here's the keys and here's my hand And everything I know Check the oil, keep your word Take it slower than you want to go That's everything I know Just call ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS SONG A country storytelling ballad in the dusty road americana tradition — acoustic guitar, pedal steel, upright bass and brushed drums.
