The tale of two brothers...a memoir 
Remember that kid we beat up back in college 
Me, you, and Thompson out in front of the frat 
And that hippie went home crying to his parents 
I can't believe you got us out of that 
How sweet was that 
God we were drunk 
Drove around all night after it with that keg in the trunk 
And when the cop pulled us over 
You talked us out of that, too 

You got away with it 
You got away 
You get away with 
The things that you 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 70's 
We were a couple of rich kids 
And aside from that one hippie 
We never really hurt anyone 
Well, there's that other thing that I won't even say 
As God as my witness I'll take that to my grave 
Cause that was an accident 
And you did what you had to do 

You got away with it 
You got away 
You get away with 
The things that you say 
I worry forever 
Never for you 
You'll get away with it 
You always do 

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 
Had me out here to Camp David a few times over the years 
I think the first time we were teenagers sneakin' beers 
Look at you now you old son of a bitch 
You got the run of this place 
Unbelievable 

You got away with it 
You got away 
You got away with 
The things that you say 
I worry forever 
Never for you 
You'll get away with it 
You always do 
You'll get away with 
This new thing too
