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
