Pistol Annies – Hush Hush lyrics

My brother got out of rehab
Right around Christmas time
Mama made a turkey, Daddy was worried
He's was gonna have to break up a fight

Everybody was walking on eggshells
Drinking eggnog instead of beer
We were holdin' 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
Push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush hush

We were sittin' 'round the dinner table
And we were eatin' our pumpkin pie
While a sugar coated, pretty little secret
Was eatin' everybody alive

Well, Daddy's reading propaganda
And he's talking about the End of Days
Well, hear's to the vodka Mama's been sneakin'
Let's all gather around to pray

Hush hush,
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
Push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush hush

So, I snuck out behind the red barn
And I took myself a toke
Since everybody here hates everybody here
Hell, I might as well be the joke

I'm gonna dance up on the table
Singin' "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
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
Well, you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
Push comes to shove
It's best to keep it

Hush hush,
Don't you dare say a word
Hush hush
Don't you know the truth hurts
Hush hush
Push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush hush

Angaleena: What are the neighbor's going to think? Best shut their mouth.
Ashley: Hush it. Be quiet.
Miranda: Shh.

Best to keep it hush hush
