Keepin' it a secret |
Lyrics: "Keepin' It a Secret (From Our Dads)" Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1a] Met you under that rodeo light Daddy said your name and nearly started a fight But your smile hit me like a neon sign So now I'm sneakin' out past curfew time [Verse 1b] Your dad swears mine's a no-good bum Mine calls yours a "loud-mouthed son of a gun" But we just kiss behind the feed store wall While they argue over who's got the better drawl [Pre-Chorus] They're barkin' like dogs on a short old leash But baby, love don't need a preach [Chorus] We're keepin' it a secret from our dads Sneakin' 'round while they're goin' mad They're fightin' hard, we're lovin' fast We're keepin' it a secret from our dads [Verse 2a] Last week they screamed in the Piggly Wiggly Your dad threw ribs, mine tossed a fig leaf I ducked behind the paper towel rack While they went at it by the frozen snacks [Verse 2b] Now your daddy's banned from bingo night Mine's got a black eye and too much pride But I still sneak you notes in my boot They'll never stop this love in hot pursuit [Pre-Chorus] They're louder than a pack of goats But I still dream of wedding coats [Chorus] We're keepin' it a secret from our dads Sneakin' 'round while they're goin' mad They're fightin' hard, we're lovin' fast We're keepin' it a secret from our dads [Bridge] Maybe one day at our wedding feast We'll sit 'em down and call for peace If they don't brawl over brisket meat We'll call that southern love... complete [Final Chorus] We're keepin' it a secret from our dads Sneakin' 'round while they're goin' mad They're fightin' hard, we're lovin' fast We're keepin' it a secret from our dads We're keepin' it a secret from our dads Sneakin' 'round while they're goin' mad They're fightin' hard, we're lovin' fast We're keepin' it a secret from our dads Love's the truth, and that's a fact -- I want you, babe... and your dad can deal with that! |
