I WON'T TELL

    
OUT BEHIND THAT OLD RED BARN,
WHEN I WAS A KID.
ALL MY FRIENDS WOULD GATHER 'ROUND,
A FRUIT JAR FILLED WITH GIN.
SMOKIN' STALE CIGARETTES,
TELLIN' DIRTY JOKES.
AND JUST TO SAVE OUR LYIN' SKIN,
WE ALL TOOK AN OATH, SAYIN'

I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL,
WE'VE BEEN HAVIN' FUN.
CAN'T GET IN TROUBLE IF NOBODY KNOWS,
WHAT YOU AND I HAVE DONE.
WON'T GET CAUGHT IF WE AGREE,
LYIN'S EASY AS CAN BE,
I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL ON ME.

NOW I'VE BEEN MARRIED FAITHFULLY,
SEEMS LIKE ALL MY LIFE.
BUT LATELY I'VE BEEN MESSIN' ROUND,
WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S WIFE.
IF HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOIN' ON,
I'D BE GOOD AS DEAD.
SO JUST TO SAVE MY GUILTY HIDE,
I CALLED HER UP AND SAID, HONEY.

I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL,
WE'VE BEEN HAVIN' FUN.
CAN'T GET IN TROUBLE IF NOBODY KNOWS,
WHAT YOU AND I HAVE DONE.
WON'T GET CAUGHT IF WE AGREE,
LYIN'S EASY AS CAN BE,
I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL ON ME.

NOW MY WIFE'S GONE OUT OF TOWN,
TO VISIT A SICK FRIEND.
AND MY BEST BUDDIES NOT AROUND,
I WONDER WHERE HE'S BEEN.
SHE FLASHED ME A GREAT BIG SMILE,
WHILE WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR.
THEN I FOUND THE NOTE HE SENT HER,
LAYIN' ON THE FLOOR, DARLIN'

I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL,
WE'VE BEEN HAVIN' FUN.
CAN'T GET IN TROUBLE IF NOBODY KNOWS,
WHAT YOU AND I HAVE DONE.
WON'T GET CAUGHT IF WE AGREE,
LYIN'S EASY AS CAN BE,
I WON'T TELL IF YOU DON'T TELL ON ME.
