Al's Secret Poems

[Verse] Al's got a secret that nobody knows, Writes those poems when the nighttime flows, His pen’s on fire, but his tongue is tied, Keeps his heart hidden where the shadows hide. [Verse 2] Friends all think he’s just the beer and trucks type, Don’t see the soul sewn in each of those lines, His wife’s a handful, but he stands his ground, In the smallest town where old secrets are bound. [Chorus] Oh, Al’s got those verses, bright as the day, Hidden 'neath the floorboards, kept far away, Behind that smile, there's a world of rhyme, A heart full of poetry, caught in time. [Verse 3] Late night, he whispers to the paper white, Pouring out feelings that he’ll never recite, His wife’s got worries, but he stays the course, Fighting every day, with gentle force. [Verse 4] Weekend gatherings, he’s quiet and shy, Inside he's a poet, with dreams that fly, One day maybe, he'll let it all show, For now, that secret’s a part of his glow. [Chorus] Oh, Al’s got those verses, bright as the day, Hidden 'neath the floorboards, kept far away, Behind that smile, there's a world of rhyme, A heart full of poetry, caught in time.
