Tommy's daddy kept a six-pack in the fridge We thought we were old enough to do what daddies 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 That ain't no fooling, 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 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 fooling, 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 thinking this sitting in my lazy chair You play it cool, but it's no use God ain't no fooling, 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 When somebody knows you that well
