Secret

Album: Secret Durasi: 3:55
[00:13.23]There's an old train track, goes back by the old mill
[00:19.63]With a most slip away every day to the whiskey still
[00:25.58]And they sell shine by the bottle for a fire every Saturday
[00:32.36]Behind Old Red's Tavern but you didn't hear that from me
[00:38.42]'Cause we all act like we don't know
[00:42.37]Where daddy got his money for a fishing pole
[00:45.52]A Zebco don't come cheap in this day and time
[00:51.66]And we all turn the other way
[00:55.00]'Cause we've got bills that we can't pay
[00:59.07]It's a small town and we know how it goes
[01:04.53]It's just another secret
[01:06.96]That everybody knows
[01:14.86]Old man Rainey spends his days at the local store
[01:21.01]He pays for little but sometimes leaves with more
[01:27.39]But he's always got a story 'bout his boy shipped overseas
[01:34.53]And he hasn't been the same since, so we let him be
[01:40.42]And we all act like we don't know
[01:43.87]That he ain't got nowhere to go
[01:47.42]'Cause he's too proud to beg for a handout
[01:53.23]And we all turn the other way
[01:56.94]'Cause there ain't that much left to say
[02:00.23]It's a small town and we know how it goes
[02:06.19]It's just another secret
[02:08.69]That everybody knows
[02:12.79]Well, this simple life ain't as easy as it sounds
[02:19.86]'Cause we've all got things that we don't talk about
[02:29.76]Jenny had a baby last spring, now she's all alone
[02:35.93]'Cause old man Rainey's boy, he ain't coming home
[02:41.75]Now she drinks from a bottle she got behind Old Red's
[02:48.74]'Cause she can't get the sight of him leaving out of her head
[02:54.62]And we all act like we don't know
[02:58.47]When she comes into Sunday school
[03:01.88]With a smile and baby boy in her arms
[03:08.10]And we all turn the other way
[03:11.24]Say "bless their hearts" and we just pray
[03:14.90]It's a small town and we know how it goes
[03:20.67]It's just another secret
[03:23.16]That everybody knows
[03:28.87]It's just another secret
[03:31.27]That everybody knows
[03:35.23]Hmm
