Song Lyrics

We were a couple kids in a pickup foolin' 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 kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes
And nobody knows and only will
If that tailgate ever tells

(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate) if that tailgate ever tells
(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate)

You, me, we had bare feet hangin' 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 kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes
And nobody knows and only will
If that tailgate ever tells

(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate) if that tailgate ever tells
(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate)

What happens on a dirt road, stays on a dirt road out here
What we're doin' 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 kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes
And nobody knows and only will
If that tailgate ever tells

(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate) if that tailgate ever tells
(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate) tailgate, don't tell, no
(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate) don't tell on me, tail
(Tailgate, don't tell on me)
(Don't tell on me, tailgate)
