You Got Away With It (A Tale of Two Fraternity Brothers)
[Spoken Introduction]
A Tale of Two Frat Brothers: a Memoir.‎

[Narration 1]
Remember that kid we beat up back in college? Me, you, and Thompson out in front of the frat. And that hippie ran 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, with that keg in the trunk.‎

[Verse 1]
And when the cop pulled us over
You talked us out of that, too

[Chorus]
You got away with it
You got away
You get away with
The things that you say

[Narration 2]
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 70s, 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

[Chorus]
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
[Narration 3]
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.‎

[Chorus]
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
