Capo 2
Intro:
[C]A [G]ta[D]le of two frat brothers
[G]A memoir
[C]Remember that kid we beat up back in college
[G]Me you and Thompson out in front of the Frat
[A]And that Hippy ran home crying to his parents
[D]I can't believe you got us out of that
[C]How sweet was that, God we were drunk
[G]Drove around all night after with that keg in the trunk
And when the c[D]op pulled us over you talked us out of that t[G]oo
Chorus:
You got a[C]way with it, you got aw[G]ay
You get a[D]way with the things that you [G]say
I had to quit partying about a year and a half after you did
I don't regret it though, I think it was fun
Besides it was the seventies, we were a couple of rich kids
And aside from that one Hippy we never realy hurt anyone
Well, there's that other thing that I won't even say
As God is my witness I'll take that to my grave
Cause that was an accident and you did what you had to do
Chorus 2:
You got away with it, you got away
You get away with the things that you say
I'll worry forever but never for you
You'll get away with it,.you always do
You'll get away with this new thing too
You never did tell me what happened with you and your brother down there in Florida
I heard they gave you a hell of a time
Everybody around here was afraid you might lose
I told them not to worry cause I knew you'd be fine
You had me out here to Camp David a few times over the years
I think the first time we were teenagers sneaking beers
Look at you now you old son-of-a-bh
You got the run of this place. Unbelievable
Chorus 2
