| Tommy’s daddy kept a six pack in the fridge
|
| We thought we were old enough to do what daddy’s did.
|
| It didn’t take us long to go from drunk to really sick
|
| When I walked in my house I stumbled just a bit.
|
| You play it cool but it’s no use,
|
| Dad aint no fool and that’s the truth
|
| Chewing gum won’t cover up that smell
|
| You can’t hide one single thought
|
| If you try you’ll just get caught
|
| When somebody knows you that well.
|
| We lost daddy in 1999
|
| I took care of everybody’s pain, except for mine,
|
| Then one night my wife took my face in her hands
|
| She said, «I think it’s time you cry for your old man.»
|
| You play it cool but it’s no use
|
| She aint no fool and that’s the truth
|
| And my tear drops finally fell,
|
| You can’t hide one single thought
|
| If you try you’ll just get caught
|
| When somebody knows you that well.
|
| I could probably do more to help my fellow man,
|
| But life gets busy and I hope God understands
|
| Someday when I get time, I’ll do more than my share,
|
| Funny how I’m thinkin' it sittin' in my easy chair,
|
| You play it cool but it’s no use,
|
| God aint no fool and that’s the truth,
|
| And he won’t let you fool yourself,
|
| You can’t hide one single thought,
|
| If you try you’ll just get caught
|
| When somebody knows you that well.
|
| When somebody knows you that well… |
