The Rug lyrics

[Verse 1]
My daddy kept Cowboy Bills in business
But nobody called him an alcoholic
And that new built neighborhood we lived in
We couldn't afford it, but we bought it
Momma hung a sign, said "Live, Laugh, Love"
Hell, it shoulda said "Cry, Fight, Cuss"

[Chorus]
Nobody wants to talk about
How messy it gets in their house
Life is sweet as peaches
Long as no one sees it
Pop a pill, then sugar coat it
Keep your dirty laundry folded
Tell a small town secret
Like we ain't all just sweeping
The same dirt, same dust
We ain't proud of
Still hurts, it's just under the rug

[Verse 2]
And I learned that hush, hush carries over when you're older
When I woke up with the wrong last name
It was already planned, already paid
And I knew I didn't but I said "I do"
'Cause I still don't know how to tell the truth
[Chorus]
Nobody wants to talk about
How messy it gets in their house
Life is sweet as peaches
Long as no one sees it
Pop a pill, then sugar coat it
Keep your dirty laundry folded
Tell a small town secret
Like we ain't all just sweeping
The same dirt, same dust
We ain't proud of
Still hurts, it's just under the rug

[Post-Chorus]
Mhh, under the rug

[Bridge]
We all got a closet
We keep the broom in
We're all human

[Chorus]
Nobody wants to talk about
How messy it gets in their house
Life is sweet as peaches
Long as no one sees it
Pop a pill, then sugar coat it
Keep your dirty laundry folded
Tell a small town secret
Like we ain't all just sweeping
The same dirt, same dust
We ain't proud of
Still hurts, it's just under the rug
Same dirt, same dust
It all piles up
Still hurts, it's just under the rug
