Songtekst Mary Had A Secret (a balladeer)

we met at redhead Mary's house on a Bible study night 
I heard she was a rebel once until she saw the light 
then in the backseat of a crowded car after weeks of holding hands 
she was slipping me the tongue among her Christian friends 

we could chuckle and talk for hours 
and then one night over the phone 
she went and told me her best friend’s secret 
after she had lowered her tone 
it was all about forgiving and so 
she thought that God would want me to know 

her older sisters had both moved out and her parents were divorced 
her mother lived in a trailer park, not big, but she had a porch 
and on top of the piano laid a cat with evil paws 
her father he was a proud Nam vet I think she hardly saw 

we would chuckle and talk for hours 
and then one night over the phone 
she went and told me her best friend’s secret 
after she had lowered her tone 
it was all about forgiving and so 
she thought that God would want me to know 

the old piano she could play so nice she had later sadly sold 
the money was invested in the church her husband owned 
she had a kid when I looked her up and another on the way 
and when we waved our last goodbye she said that she would pray
