[Chorus]
D G/F#
Don't wash the cast
G
iron skillet
D G/F#
Don't drink and drive,
G G/A
you'll spill it
G/B G/A G
Don't ask too many questions
D
or you'll never get to sleep
G/F#
There's a hole inside you,
G
fill it
[Verse 1]
D G/F#
Shower up and shave
G
Put flowers on the grave
G/B G/A
And ask the Lord to save his soul
G
Although you know it's too late
D G/F# G
Was it 27 times, or was it 29?
G/B
I heard the blade
G/A
broke off inside the man
G
And he took a while to die
D G/F#
How did he get so low?
G
Seems like just a week ago
G/B G/A G
We were 10 and 12 years old
D G/F#
He was sweet and soft
G
Shied away from the
inside fastballs
G/B G/A
And died doing life
G
without parole
[Chorus]
D G/F# G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D G/F#
That dog bites my kid,
G G/A
I'll kill it
G/B G/A
Don't walk where

G
you can't see your feet
D G/F#
Don't ask questions just
G
believe it
[Verse 2]
D G/F#
Jamie found a boyfriend
G
With smiling eyes and dark skin
G/B G/A
And her daddy never spoke
G
another word to her again
D G/F#
The old man at the Quickstop
G
Lying to the county cops
G/B G/A
And laughing like his soul
G
was without sin
D G/F#
How did he get so low?
G
Seems like just a week ago
G/B
She was sitting on your
G/A G
shoulders watching fireworks
in the sky
D G/F#
He treats her like a queen
G
But you don't know
'cause you ain't seen
G/B G/A
It's hard to go through life
G
without your daddy by your side
[Chorus]
D G/F# G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D
This town won't get
G/F# G G/A
no better, will it
G/B G/A
She found love and it was
G
simple as a weathervane
D G
Her own family tried to kill him
D G/F# G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D G/F# G
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
D G/F# G
Don't wash the cast iron
