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 And ask the Lord to save his soul, although you know it's too late Was it 27 times or was it 29? 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 12 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 Quick Stop, lying to the county cops And laughing like his soul was without sin How'd 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 weather vane 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
