[Verse 1] The diner sign says "Open" By the feed store lot You park by the curb Like you're trying not to get caught Your blue old truck And my little red shoes We talk too low In the windowed booth [Pre-Chorus] And I like how you look When you pretend it's nothing I like how your smile Keeps on giving me something [Chorus] Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) Your hand in my hand And nobody buys it Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) We dance in the dark Like a secret I can keep [Verse 2] Saturday dust on the baseball field Your name on my tongue Like a song I won't tell Past the church fence Past the laundromat glow You lean in close And I already know [Pre-Chorus] If they ask, we were just Two kids passing time But your eyes say yes And your lips say mine [Chorus] Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) Your hand in my hand And nobody buys it Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) We dance in the dark Like a secret I can keep [Bridge] Let the porch light burn Let the gravel crunch We don't need a crowd We don't need a rush Your thumb on my wrist Says more than we say In this little place Love slips away [Chorus] Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) Your hand in my hand And nobody buys it Small town, keep it quiet (keep it quiet) We dance in the dark Like a secret I can keep [Outro] Keep it soft Keep it true If the whole town sleeps I'm still next to you (keep it quiet) (keep it quiet)
