Lyrics
Tailgate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were a couple kids in a pick up fooling around
We learned how to keep it so nobody found out
Mama don't need to know everything
Some things you keep to yourself
Like dumb things you do when you're seventeen on the DL
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
In the back of that race red F-150
We get to kissing, we get to slipping off clothes, and nobody knows
And only will, if that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
You, me, we had bare feet hanging off the edge
Two drinks, then we lay it on back in the bed
Mama don't need to know everything
Some things you keep to yourself
We knew that's all that we'd ever be, on the DL
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
In the back of that race red F-150
We get to kissing, we get to slipping off clothes, and nobody knows
And only will, if that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
What happens on a dirt road stays on a dirt road out here
What we're doing in the dark when we're underneath the stars
Is our own business
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
In the back of that race red F-150
We get to kissing, we get to slipping off clothes, and nobody knows
And only will, if that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
Tailgate don't tell, no
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
Don't tell on me
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
