Lyrics
I Never Told a Soul
Robert Poole II, and Jane Marie c2001
Second grade with Mrs. Miller
In a jar was a caterpillar
One day somebody set it free
I found Julie hidin' in a corner
She was in trouble and I tried to warn her
She said I swear it wasn?t me
I said Julie you can trust me
This is something they?ll never know
It?s our secret, to keep forever
And I?ll never tell a soul
She loved Billy I loved Joe
Then one night at the drive-in show
Julie said that Billy went too far
She put my hand on a stack of bibles
And made me swear to God that I was
Not to tell what happened in that car
Chorus
Julie lost Billy?s baby
He was drinkin' a lot the day he
Got mad, she fell to the floor
She told me she lived every day in fear
I could see her fightin' tears
She said I can?t tell you anymore
Chorus
Julie finally made a decision
She tried to leave now Billy?s in prison
Guess you could say he set her free
Lookin back at all I knew
If I?d found someone to tell it to
Julie might still be here with me but
I said Julie you can trust me
This is something they?ll never know
It?s our secret, to keep forever
And I?ll never tell a soul
