Lyrics
[Verse 1] There's an old train track, goes back by the old mill Where them boys slip away every day to the whiskey still And they sell 'shine by the bottle for a five every Saturday Behind Old Red's Tavern but you didn't hear that from me [Chorus] 'Cause we all act like we don't know Where daddy got his money for a fishing pole A Zebco don't come cheap in this day and time And we all turn the other way 'Cause we've got bills that we can't pay It's a small town and we know how it goes It's just another secret That everybody knows [Verse 2] Old man Rainey spends his days at the local store He pays for a little but sometimes leaves with more But he's always got a story 'bout his boy shipped overseas And he hasn't been the same since, so we let him be [Chorus] And we all act like we don't know That he ain't got nowhere to go 'Cause he's too proud to beg for a handout And we all turn the other way 'Cause there ain't that much left to say It's a small town and we know how it goes It's just another secret That everybody knows [Bridge] Well, this simple life ain't as easy as it sounds 'Cause we've all got things that we don't talk about [Verse 3] Like Jenny had a baby last spring, now she's all alone 'Cause old man Rainey's boy, he ain't coming home Now she drinks from a bottle she got behind Old Red's 'Cause she can't get the sight of him leaving out of her head [Chorus] And we all act like we don't know When she comes into Sunday school With a smilin' baby boy in her arms And we all turn the other way Say, "Bless their hearts" and we just pray It's a small town and we know how it goes [Post-Chorus] It's just another secret That everybody knows It's just another secret That everybody knows
