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 ain't 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 nineteen ninety-nine.
|
I took care of everybody's pain,
|
Except for mine.
|
And 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 ain't no fool,
|
And that's the truth.
|
And my teardrops 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' this,
|
Sittin' in my easy chair.
|
|
You play it cool,
|
But it's no use.
|
God ain't 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.
