[Verse 1] Dad was teaching me how to change a tire but I didn't know his thoughts were higher lifelong lesson for which I didn't ask wisdom of ages in a mundane task [prechorus] look ahead at the finish line you'll know what you need now [chorus] always start at twelve o'clock that's the way you will get around pass the two o'clock and go to five you'll understand when you get it down [Verse 2] Memories flood of those summer days In the garage we found our ways You spoke of life and its winding roads In simple tasks your wisdom showed [prechorus] use a map or you'll get lost Know where you're going and you get there [chorus] always start at twelve o'clock that's the way you will get around pass the two o'clock and go to five you'll understand when you get it down [Verse 3] Your hands were steady, mine unsure But with your guidance, I felt secure Life’s great journey beneath our feet Lessons unfold on this quiet street [prechorus] Do everything with confidence people around you will take notice then [chorus] always start at twelve o'clock that's the way you will get around pass the two o'clock and go to five you'll understand when you get it down [Verse 4] Turning the wrench, I saw your smile Time felt endless for just a while Your words linger in the air we breathe Passed down love in the air we leave [Outro] Now I carry your teachings near Every turn, your voice I hear Life's a journey, one we share The driver's seat, you put me there [acapella] always start at twelve o'clock that's the way you will get around pass the two o'clock and go to five I understand now, yes I've got it down
