Secret

[00:12.63] There's an old train track, goes back by the old mill

[00:18.47] Where them boys slip away every day to the whiskey still

[00:24.85] And they sell 'shine by the bottle for a five every Saturday

[00:32.02] Behind Old Red's Tavern but you didn't hear that from me

[00:38.13] 'Cause we all act like we don't know

[00:41.32] Where daddy got his money for a fishing pole

[00:45.04] A Zebco don't come cheap in this day and time

[00:50.89] And we all turn the other way

[00:54.33] 'Cause we've got bills that we can't pay

[00:57.79] It's a small town and we know how it goes

[01:03.63] It's just another secret

[01:05.49] That everybody knows

[01:13.99] Old man Rainey spends his days at the local store

[01:20.63] He pays for a little but sometimes leaves with more

[01:26.74] But he's always got a story 'bout his boy shipped overseas

[01:33.38] And he hasn't been the same since, so we let him be

[01:39.49] And we all act like we don't know

[01:43.47] That he ain't got nowhere to go

[01:46.66] 'Cause he's too proud to beg for a handout

[01:52.82] And we all turn the other way

[01:56.27] 'Cause there ain't that much left to say

[01:59.46] It's a small town and we know how it goes

[02:05.57] It's just another secret

[02:07.96] That everybody knows

[02:11.94] Well, this simple life ain't as easy as it sounds

[02:18.85] 'Cause we've all got things that we don't talk about

[02:28.68] Like Jenny had a baby last spring, now she's all alone

[02:35.05] 'Cause old man Rainey's boy, he ain't coming home

[02:41.43] Now she drinks from a bottle she got behind Old Red's

[02:47.80] 'Cause she can't get the sight of him leaving out of her head

[02:54.18] And we all act like we don't know

[02:57.90] When she comes into Sunday school

[03:03.47] With a smilin' baby boy in her arms

[03:07.19] And we all turn the other way

[03:10.64] Say, "Bless their hearts" and we just pray

[03:14.36] It's a small town and we know how it goes

[03:20.21] It's just another secret

[03:24.19] That everybody knows

[03:28.97] It's just another secret

[03:31.36] That everybody knows
