Just Don’t Get Caught Lyrics by Tim Kasher

Cold Love

0

Papa smoked that pipe and drank
That single malt scotch
In his big brown leather chair
He said, "Son, I know you cheat
Just don't get caught
Whenever you take a lover
You get wise right from the start
Because I know you steal
But don't steal a lady's heart
And good you can never harm
They're going to stay with you
From the altar to the rock-a-bye
Little baby on the treetop"
He says, "Sonny, don't get caught"
"If love lets loose in your blood, son
You've never known such a drunk
Gamble with love, better know how to bluff
Or your bacchanal days will bе done
Keep a secret up your sleevе
Your deceit in your sock
Son, I know you're no good
Just don't get caught"
And I pulled up to that big red house
Where papa played cards
Where he'd sing his drunken songs
Once I came of age, he was gone, baby, gone
He used to take me to the lake
When mama was out to church
He'd say, "Look at all the lovely birds
The nape, the breast, the flank, the fur"
So I rapped upon his door, knock, knock, knock!
Papa I've squashed, I got an anvil for a heart
And enough secrets to flood Fort Knox
I got a wise glass full of scottish too
I've been known to take a puff or two
But papa, do I got to be just like you?
All these secrets and lies, it's no way to live
It's sure as hell no way to die
Are you going to take them to the grave
Or pawn them off on your only son
To carry the weight, the weight, the weight
The weight, the weight, you always told me
"Sonny, don't get caught"
Them secrets stay under your skin
Like maggots they'll eat you alive
When I want out, don't you give in
Take a big swig and swallow them lies
Once you die on the inside
The world is yours to hunt
"Son, I know you're no good, just don't get caught"
No, no, no, no
He'd say, "Son, I know you're no good, just don't get caught"
No, no, no, no
He'd say, "Sonny, I know you're no good, just don't get caught"
No, no, no, no
He'd say, "Son, I know you're no good, just don't get caught"
No, no, no, no
He'd say, "Sonny, I know you're no good"
