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 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 ain't 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 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
