karma - Arlie

It was raining when you came in

You said, «Sorry I’m all wet»

I said, «You don’t have to be sorry

I’ll help you take care of that»

You lay it all out on the table

I said there’s no need to make a mess

We try to study, don’t get a lot done

All busy, worried 'bout that test

College hall’s no place for a study date

You couldn’t look yourself straight through the mirror

Wasn’t my fault to work you on, I couldn’t wait

I shoulda known you couldn’t hold your own liquor

It’s a surefire but your daddy wouldn’t pay

If I’m tired, I’m going down undercover

You know the truth is loving you is not a mistake

But that’s a lot of bad karma

Hey, I wouldn’t make a bad father

And now you’re saying you’re gonna leave me

It took a long time to get you thre

You’re still a hot mess in your whit dress

I’m busy trying not to stare

Oh freedom, oh freedom

Like a heartbeat could drive you mad

The thunder outside, drowning out my visions

Of what we lost and what we had

College hall’s such a cold place to be awake

You couldn’t look yourself straight through the mirror

Wasn’t my fault to work you on, I couldn’t wait

I shoulda known you couldn’t hold your own liquor

It’s a surefire but your daddy wouldn’t pay

If I’m tired, I’m going down undercover

You know the truth is loving you is not a mistake

But that’s a lot of bad karma

Hey, I wouldn’t make a bad father

I’m afraid that I’m to blame if you give up, Kassie

If I ever make it out of my head, you can have me

Maybe I could stick around, yeah, I could shape up, settle down

But tonight I’m freaking out 'cause you won’t call

Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate

Double take, saw a little face in the mirror

Knew I couldn’t tell your mother when I saw your plate

Z to Z but you couldn’t speak through the shivers

You zip your jacket, try to hide your red letter A

Half mast, scattered ashes in the water

You know the truth is you could cut this any other way

It’s just a lot of bad karma

Hey, I wouldn’t make a bad father

'Cause you won’t call, won’t

'Cause you won’t, 'cause you won’t

You won’t call
