: "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!
