[Verse 1]
AmDaddy was a preacher. He was righteous to the bone
AmSpent lots of time away. Leaving momma on her own
DmOne Sunday afternoon while daddy’s preaching to the town
AmWell I noticed Bobby Joe looking me up and down
DmMy heart was pounding wildly, I felt wicked as could be
EI wanted Bobby JEoe and Bobby JEoe sure wanted Amme
[Chorus]
DmThere’s dirty little secrets in this dirty little town
AmWe got one road in, no way out, they burned the bridges down
DmDirty look though dirty windows, dirty rumours flying round
EDirty little seEcrets in this diErty little tAmown
[Verse 2]
AmWell town folks started talking about me a Bobby Joe
AmDaddy said my darling there’s something you should know
DmBut please don’t tell your momma, she’d never understand
AmLet’s keep this between you and me, daddy took my hand
DmHe said I know you love him but he can’t be the one
EGirl you’ve got to lEet him go cause BoEbby Joe’s my sAmon
[Chorus]
DmThere’s dirty little secrets in this dirty little town
AmWe got one road in, no way out, they burned the bridges down
DmDirty look though dirty windows, dirty rumours flying round
EDirty little seEcrets in this dirty lEittle toAmwn
[Verse 3]
AmWell I ran home to momma, tears were running down my face
AmI was gonna pack a bag or two, just get out of this place
DmBut I told momma daddy’s secret and I was sure suprised
AmWhen momma bust out laughing and said my darling child
DmGo ahead, give your heart to handsome Bobby Joe
EYour daddy’s ain’t your dEaddy, I’ve got sEecrets of my oAmwn

[Verse 1]

Daddy was a preacher. He was righteous to the bone

Spent lots of time away. Leaving momma on her own

One Sunday afternoon while daddy’s preaching to the town

Well I noticed Bobby Joe looking me up and down

My heart was pounding wildly, I felt wicked as could be

E E E Am

I wanted Bobby Joe and Bobby Joe sure wanted me

[Chorus]

There’s dirty little secrets in this dirty little town

We got one road in, no way out, they burned the bridges down

Dirty look though dirty windows, dirty rumours flying round

E E E Am

Dirty little secrets in this dirty little town

[Verse 2]

Well town folks started talking about me a Bobby Joe

Daddy said my darling there’s something you should know

But please don’t tell your momma, she’d never understand

Let’s keep this between you and me, daddy took my hand

He said I know you love him but he can’t be the one

E E E Am

Girl you’ve got to let him go cause Bobby Joe’s my son

[Chorus]

There’s dirty little secrets in this dirty little town

We got one road in, no way out, they burned the bridges down

Dirty look though dirty windows, dirty rumours flying round

E E E Am

Dirty little secrets in this dirty little town

[Verse 3]

Well I ran home to momma, tears were running down my face

I was gonna pack a bag or two, just get out of this place

But I told momma daddy’s secret and I was sure suprised

When momma bust out laughing and said my darling child

Go ahead, give your heart to handsome Bobby Joe

E E E Am

Your daddy’s ain’t your daddy, I’ve got secrets of my own

[Chorus]

There’s dirty little secrets in this dirty little town

We got one road in, no way out, they burned the bridges down

Dirty look though dirty windows, dirty rumours flying round

E E E Am

Dirty little secrets in this dirty little town
