Just Don't Get Caught Lyrics

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, cuz I know you steal....but don't steal a ladies heart,
and good you can never harm, they're gonna stay with you from the alter to the rock-a-bye....little baby on the tree top,
he says sonny don't get caught.
If love whispers in your blood, son you've never known such a drunk.
Gamble with love, better know how to bluff, or your boppin' off days will be done.
Keep a secret up your sleeve and your deceit in your sock,
son I know your 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 wrapped up on his door, knock knock knock!!!
Papa I've squashed, I got an anvile for a heart, and enough secrets to flood Fort Knox.
I got a wise glass full of scotish too, I've been known to take a puff or two,
but papa....do I gotta be just like you?
All these secrets and lies its no way to live, its sure as hell no way to die.
Are you gonna take em' to the grave, or pawn em' 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 your no good, just don't get caught....
no no no no. He'd say son, I know your no good, just don't get caught....
no no no no. He'd say sonny, I know your no good, just don't get caught....
no no no no. He'd say son, I know your no good, just don't get caught....
no no no no. He'd say sonny, I know your no good.
