lyrics

I came to town with nothing but a warning, “Everyone here hears everything.” I saw her standing at the counter cutting down advances and compliments. A couple days, she told me he’d been sweet sugar cane, but now was bitter and rough. I came around at the wrong time maybe, she’d been thinking about moving out.

I asked her what she wanted, she bit her lip at me. Wait a minute, wait a minute, where is your man? If you can keep a secret, well I can keep a secret, and no one ever needs to know.

A couple of weeks, her eyes got redder, she had black marks up and down her arms. She cut her words into tiny little pieces, but always asked me not to leave.

Do you think anyone would ask if he ended up missing, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, where is your man?" If you can keep a secret, well I can keep a secret, and no one ever needs to know.

You were soft and sweet and incomplete though I didn’t know it then. Still, I got wise to things in time, and I couldn’t stand for them. I watched you go back and forth defending him and all he’d done to you. I could take him down to the Everglades. I should take him down into the Everglades. I could take him down into the Everglades for you.
