[Verse 1: Angaleena Presley]
My brother got out of rehab
Right around Christmas time
Mama made a turkey
Daddy was worried he was gonna have to break up a fight
Everybody was walkin' on eggshells
Drinkin' eggnog instead of beer
We were holdin' our tongues, scratchin' our heads
Wonderin' how the hell we got here

[Chorus: Angaleena Presley and all]
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush, hush

[Verse 2: Miranda Lambert]
We were sitting around the dinner table
And we were eating our pumpkin pie
While the sugar-coated purty little secret
Was eating everybody alive
Well daddy's readin' propaganda
And he's talkin' 'bout the end of days
Well cheers to the vodka mama's been sneakin'
Let's all gather 'round and pray

[Chorus: Miranda Lambert and all]
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush, hush

[Verse 3: Ashley Monroe and all]
So I snuck out behind the red barn
And I took myself a toke
Since everybody here hates everybody here
Hell, I might as well be the joke
I'm gonna dance up on the table
Singin' "This Little Light of Mine"
God gave it to me, what good's it gonna do me
If I don't, by God, let it shine

[Chorus: Ashley Monroe and all]
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush, hush

[Bridge: all]
Hide your tattoo
Put on your Sunday best
Pretend you're not a mess
Be the happy family in the front pew

[Chorus: Angaleena Presley, Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and all]
Hush, hush, don't you dare say a word
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush, hush
Don't you dare say a word
Hush, hush, don't you know the truth hurts
Hush, hush, when push comes to shove
It's best to keep it hush, hush

(spoken: Angaleena Presley)
What are the neighbors gonna think? Better shut that mouth. Hush it. Be quiet. Shh

(sung: all)
Best to keep it hush, hush
