******** Intro (verse 1) Tommy’s daddy kept a six pack in the fridge We thought we were old enough to do what daddy’s did It didn’t take us long to from drunk to really sick When I walked in my house I stumbled just a bit (chorus) You play it cool but it’s no use Dad ain’t no fool and that’s the truth Chewin gum won’t cover up that smell You can’t hide one single though If you try you’ll just get caught When somebody knows you that well (verse 2) We lost daddy in Nineteen Ninety Nine I took care of everybody’s pain except for mine And then one night my wife took my face in her hands She said I think it’s time you cry for your old man (chorus) You play it cool but it’s no use She ain’t no fool and that’s the truth And my teardrops finally fell You can’t hide one single though If you try you’ll just get caught When somebody knows you that well (verse 3) I could probably do more to help my fellow man But life gets buisy and I hope God understand Someday when I get time I’ll do more than my share Funny how I’m thinkin this sittin in my easy chair (chorus) You play it cool but it’s no use God ain’t no fool and that’s the truth And he won’t let you fool yourself You can’t hide one single though If you try you’ll just get caught When somebody knows you that well When somebody knows you that well

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les relations profondes que l'on entretient avec les personnes qui nous connaissent intimement. Elle traite de l'incapacité à dissimuler ses émotions, même lorsque l'on essaie de faire bonne figure. À travers des souvenirs de jeunesse, de perte et de lutte personnelle, l’artiste souligne l'importance d'être authentique et vulnérable, tant envers ses proches que face à Dieu, qui voit au-delà des apparences. La lutte avec la douleur non résolue et le désir de mieux faire pour les autres sont également des thèmes clés, rappelant que la connaissance authentique de soi et des autres finit toujours par émerger.
