Lyrics
There's an old train track, goes back by the old mill Where them boys slip away every day to the whiskey still They sell 'shine by the bottle for a five every Saturday Behind Old Red's Tavern, but you didn't hear that from me 'Cause we all act like we don't know Where Daddy got his money for a fishin' 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 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 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 Well, this simple life ain't as easy as it sounds 'Cause we've all got things that we don't talk about Like Jenny had a baby last spring, now she's all alone 'Cause old man Rainey's boy, he ain't comin' home Now she drinks from a bottle she got behind Old Red's 'Cause she can't get the sight of him leavin' out of her head 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 It's just another secret that everybody knows It's just another secret that everybody knows
