[Intro] [Verse 1] Your lipstick on a mason jar My truck bed in the rain We hide our fire in the tobacco rows And wash our hands in pain Your daddy’s boots on the hardwood floor My shadow on your gate If love’s a crime in this old county Then darling, seal my fate [Pre-Chorus] And every Sunday, I say your name Like a prayer I can’t let go The organ groans, the porch light shakes And the whole town’ll never know [Chorus] Secret love in the Dixie Secret love, stay hidden with me Secret love in the Dixie Under black oak branches, baby, we breathe Secret love (Secret love) Secret love [Verse 2] I stitched your name inside my dress Where no one else could see Carried your kiss through harvest winds Like a secret melody Grandma warned me 'bout your kind Said darkness stains the soul But every time your hand found mine Lord, it made me whole [Pre-Chorus] And every Sunday, I hear your name Like a hymn beneath my skin The church bells ring, the windows shake But they can't drown you out within [Chorus] Secret love in the Dixie Secret love, stay hidden with me Secret love in the Dixie Under black oak branches, baby, we breathe Secret love (Secret love) Secret love [Bridge] If they ask me, I’ll bite my tongue Let the blood moon do its worst I’ll meet you where the willow bends With a vow the grave can’t curse The full moon rose above the pines And the whispers turned to flame The whole town came with lantern light And called us both by name [Final Chorus] Dixie lovin' in the full moon's light Dixie lovin', baby, hold me tight Dixie lovin' in the full moon's light Let the whole damn county watch tonight (Dixie lovin') (Dixie lovin') Under black oak branches, baby, we breathe No more secrets, finally free [Outro] Let them talk, let them stare We ain't hidin' anywhere Hand in hand beneath the sky Dixie lovin' till we die (Dixie lovin') (Dixie lovin') Dixie love...
