It was raining when you came in You said, "Sorry, I´m all wet" I said, "You don´t have to be sorry I´ll help you take care of that" You lay it all out on the table
I said there´s no need to make a mess We try to study, don´t get a lot done All busy worried about that test
College hall´s no place for a study date You couldn´t look yourself straight through the mirror Wasn´t my fault to egg you on, I couldn´t wait I shoulda known you couldn´t hold your own liquor It´s a surefire, but your daddy wouldn´t pay He finds out, I´m going down undercover You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake But that´s a lotta bad karma Oh, I wouldn´t make a bad father
Now you´re saying you´re gonna leave me It took a long time to get you there
You´re still a hot mess in your white dress I´m busy trying not to stare Oh, and freedom, oh, freedom Like a heartbeat, could drive you mad The thunder outside drowning out my visions Of what we lost and what we had
College hall´s such a cold place to be awake You couldn´t look yourself straight through the mirror Wasn´t my fault to egg you on, I couldn´t wait I shoulda known you couldn´t hold your own liquor It´s a surefire, but your daddy wouldn´t pay He finds out, I´m going down undercover You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake But that´s a lotta bad karma Oh, I wouldn´t make a bad father (Yeah)
I´m afraid that I´m to blame if you give up, Cassie If I ever make out of my head You can have me Maybe I could stick around Yeah, I could shape up, settle down (Shape up, settle down) But tonight, I´m freaking out ´Cause you won´t call
Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate Double take, saw a little face in the mirror Knew we couldn´t tell your mother when I saw your plates Heated seats, but you couldn´t speak through the shivers You zip your jacket, try to hide your red letter A
Half-mast, scatter ashes in the water You know the truth is you could cut this any other way It´s just a lotta bad karma (Hey) I wouldn´t make a bad father But you won´t call, no But you won´t You won´t You won´t call
