I should have known that you'd leave
This little pond to explore another sea
You would show your teeth
To the wolves and have them running for the trees
Oh the wolves and have them running for the trees
Left town but your family doesn't know yet
You knew if you told them they probably wouldn't let you go then
And I don't disagree
I just think you think differently than me
So when they come asking about you I'll lie through my teeth
Silence was something I never gotten used to
You never let me put
My money where my mouth is
Now its to late to
To cut to you crying
To calm you down I used to be
So good and you'd look at me as if you knew the answer
You just needed it from me
And when your father had too much to drink
You would hop your fence and cross the street
Til the swing on my back porch would sing its song
Now you're on your own
Left town but your family doesn't know yet
You knew if you told them they probably wouldn't let you go then
And I don't disagree
I just think you think differently than me
So when they come asking about you I'll lie through my teeth
So when they come asking about you I'll lie through my teeth
