Cast Iron Skillet

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
