Best That I Know How

I can still feel the winter
Biting at my toes
All them long hours in the barn
I didn't know they'd help me grow

I can still feel the wonder
As I watched the trains go by
These were more than just for passing time
They've been a shelter all my life

I can still smell the kitchen
Callin' me back home
From a walk out in the fields
Where I was lost but not alone

And I can still smell the summers
Where the country came alive
These were more than just good memories
They've been a shelter all my life

I know I didn't see it then
But I sure see it now
The faith that you have made in me
Is still being handed down
I know I never said it much
But I'm saying it now
You mean so much to me
And I'll tell you the best that I know how

I can still hear the echoes
Of opportunity
All the time working in that shop
Well I know it really worked on me

I can still hear the stories
That made me come alive
These are more that just good memories
They've been a shelter all my life

I know I didn't see it then
But I sure see it now
The faith that you have made in me
Is still being handed down
I know I never said it much
But I'm saying it now
You mean so much to me
And I'll tell you the best that I
I know how

I know I took a lot for granted
Like the clothes you washed, seeds you planted
It took awhile for these eyes to see
All the privilege that comes with being your child

I can still see the forest
A night time full of stars
All time I spent in that humble place
I didn't know it take me so far
I can still see the little farm
On the dusty gravel road
Now that house we fit in all them years
Is lookin' more now like a home

I know I didn't see it then
But I sure see it now
The faith that you have made in me is still being handed down
I know I never said it much
But I'm saying it now
You mean so much to me
And I'll tell you the best that I
I know how
