karma

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 'bout 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 should've known you, couldn't hold your own liquor It's a shorefire 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 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 freedom, oh freedom Like a heartbeat can 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 should've known you, couldn't hold your own liquor It's a shorefire 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 And I'm afraid that I'm to blame if you give up, Cassie If I ever make it out of my head You can have me Maybe I could stick around Yeah, I could 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 Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father But you won't call, no But you won't You won't You won't call
