Lyrics

Don't wash the cast iron skillet
Don't drink and drive, you'll spill it
Don't ask too many questions or you'll never get to sleep
There's a hole inside you, fill it
Shower up and shave
Put flowers on the grave
Even ask the Lord to save his soul although you know it's too late
Was it twenty-seven times, or was it twenty-nine?
I heard the blade broke off inside the man
And he took a while to die
How did he get so low?
Seems like just a week ago
We were ten and twelve years old
He was sweet and soft
Shied away from the inside fastballs
And died doing life without parole
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
That dog bites my kid, I'll kill it
Don't walk where you can't see your feet
Don't ask questions, just believe it
Jamie found a boyfriend
With smiling eyes and dark skin
And her daddy never spoke another word to her again
The old man at the Quickstop
Lying to the county cops
And laughing like his soul was without sin
How did he get so low?
Seems like just a week ago
She was sitting on your shoulders watching fireworks in the sky
He treats her like a queen
But you don't know 'cause you ain't seen
It's hard to go through life without your daddy by your side
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
This town won't get no better, will it?
She found love and it was simple as a weathervane
But her own family tried to kill it
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
Don't wash the cast iron
