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 ain’t no use
Dad ain’t no fool, and that’s the truth
Chewing 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
And then one night my wife took my face in her hands
She said "I think it’s time you cried for your old man"
You play it cool, but it ain’t 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’ this sittin’ in my easy chair
You play it cool, but it ain’t 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
