Things I Never Told You

Cop got me doing 88 on Main

He let me off with a warning

And I was hungover as hell

Most of them third-pew Sunday mornings

I had a Playboy stashed

In a Johnny Cash LP sleeve in my room

That's just a few

Things I never told you

I kept a well-hid can of Skoal

In the console of my Chevy

Got a real good education skipping school

In the backseat on that levy

If you'd caught wind of half my sins

You'da whipped my ass through and through

Back then if you knew

Things I never told you

I wouldn't be half the man I am

If you hadn't loved this boy

I've never said it until now

But I always heard your voice

Cuttin' through that loud rock 'n' roll

Every fork in the road

Underneath the dirt I've never shown you

Thank you's at the top of my list

Of things I never told you

When I moved away from home, I

Didn't realize how much I'd miss ya

A phone call don't take the place of your smilin' face

Cooking in that kitchen

You're the reason all my angels

And my demons finally called a truce

Yeah, that's just a few

Things I never told you

I wouldn't be half the man I am

If you hadn't loved this boy

I've never said it until now

But I always heard your voice

Cuttin' through that loud rock 'n' roll

Every fork in the road

Underneath the dirt I've never shown you

Thank you's at the top of my list

Of things I never told you

Thank you's at the top of my list

Of things I never told you

Things I never told you
