Hidin’ Something

[Verse 1]
Grew up at the crossroads
Of a preacher's daughter and a farmer's wife
She thought she found a one-woman man
To love her 'til the day she dies

[Pre-Chorus]
But thirty years in, done raisin' his kids
And keepin' his front porch swept
She found a box full of letters, he should've been better
At hidin' those secrets he kept

[Chorus]
He finally found one hole that he can't get out
'Cause she's got a shovel and a whole lotta ground
She goes way out where the Lord can't see
She ain't weepin' under those willow trees, now

[Post-Chorus]
He's gettin' what he had comin'
She's servin' that backwoods justice
And by the time that the sun comes up
He won't be the only one hidin' somethin'

[Verse 2]
She could take the beatings
And the cheatin' hell that he put her through
But everything hit different
When she read 'bout the other folks he left black and blue

[Pre-Chorus]
So on a Sunday night, made a chicken pot pie
And she threw a little somethin' else in
By the time it got dark, she was rollin' up a tarp
His cold heart won't be beatin' again

[Chorus]
'Cause he's found one hole that he can't get out
'Cause she's got a shovel and a whole lotta ground
She goes way out where the Lord can't see
She ain't weepin' under those willow trees, now

[Post-Chorus]
He's gettin' what he had comin'
She's servin' that backwoods justice
And by the time that the sun comes up
He won't be the only one hidin' somethin'

[Bridge]
Nobody wonders, nobody asks
Nobody's prayin' that devil comes back
Nobody wonders, nobody asks
Mm, nobody wonders, nobody asks
Nobody's prayin' that devil comes back
Nobody wonders, nobody asks

[Chorus]
He finally found one hole that he can't get out
'Cause she's got a shovel and a whole lotta ground
She goes way out where the Lord can't see
She ain't weepin' under those willow trees, now

[Post-Chorus]
He's gettin' what he had comin'
She's servin' that backwoods justice
And by the time that the sun comes up
He won't be the only one hidin' somethin' (Hidin' somethin')

[Outro]
No, he won't be the only one hidin' somethin'
Now, he ain't the only one hidin' somethin'
