Pistol Annies – Hush Hush

My brother got out of rehab
Right around Christmas time
Mama made a turkey
Daddy was worried he was gonna have to break up a fight
Everybody was walking on eggshells
Drinking eggnog instead of beer
We were holding our tongues scratching our heads
Wondering how the hell we got here

Hush hush don’t you dare say a word
Hush hush don’t you know the truth hurts
Hush hush when push comes to shove
It’s best to keep it hush hush

We were sitting around the dinner table
And we were eating our pumpkin pie
While the sugar coated pretty little secret was eating everybody alive
Well daddy’s reading propaganda
And he’s talking about the end of days
Well cheers to the vodka mama’s been sneaking
Let’s all gather around and pray

Hush hush don’t you dare say a word
Hush hush don’t you know the truth hurts
Hush hush when push comes to shove
It’s best to keep it hush hush

So I snuck at behind the red barn
And I took myself a smoke
Since everybody here hates everybody here
Hell I might as well be the joke
I’m gonna dance up on the table
Singing this little light of mine
God gave it to me what good’s it gonna do me
If I don’t by God let it shine

Hush hush don’t you dare say a word
Hush hush don’t you know the truth hurts
Hush hush when push comes to shove
It’s best to keep it hush hush

Hide your tattoo
Put on your Sunday best
Pretend you’re not a mess
Be the happy family in the front pew

Hush hush don’t you dare say a word
Hush hush don’t you know the truth hurts
Hush hush when push comes to shove
It’s best to keep it hush hush

Hush hush don’t you dare say a word
Hush hush don’t you know the truth hurts
Hush hush when push comes to shove
It’s best to keep it hush hush
Best to keep it hush hush
