Billy Strings - Secrets Lyrics
It's something cold like what I stuck around to fight through
And it gets feeling tougher every day
I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but
Can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say
There's nothing wrong with hearing voices
And if you'd listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems
I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings
But now I know they're few and far between
And when I look at my reflection in the mirror
I can see some man I've never even seen
The wasted life I left behind me
Was just a war I couldn't win
I'm the devil's guest of honor that's the best it's ever been
Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor
And it drags him to the bottom of the sea
His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream
Or frozen in some broken memory
I've never heard him speak about what happened
He'll never say what laid him low
There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone
You said a love that's kept in secret dies in darkness
And a soul needs to confess to be set free
So I'm lifting back the cover of my heart, dear
And hoping that you'll do the same for me
It's not too pretty, but it's open
It's the only way I know to tell you true
I'd walk the world alone before I'd ever walk away from you
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain
Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard
Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck
On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card
You blink and life is left behind you
There's no escape, that's just a fact
We're all a dollar short and
Every one of us is running out of track
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a 1,000 miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

“I’m the devil’s guest of honor and that’s the best it’s ever been” holy shit this album is fantastic
Staying up half the night to listen to all these …. Twice ♥️
@Khola Meth sucks and you do for glorifying it. Now, Don't be a Dick
we all know the real reason... there's no dust left in that baggie
I did the same thing,then found my self back here when I woke up lol
Billy, I'm loving the fiddle on this album. Perhaps you'll add a fiddle player to the band! Loving the new Album. It was a delight to see you in concert this week. Peace and Love to you all!! You do Tony Rice proud with absolute perfection- Hell all of your covers (Jerry)! Looking forward to you teaming up w/ Larry Keel soon. Lots of great fishing in Utah. Y'all come back soon. Be Safe xoxo
such powerful lyrics...
I'm the devils guest of honor 🔥
Fell in love with this song immediately at Legend Valley 🌻
AWESOME song!!
Really cool changes, and great lyrics.
I can’t stop listening to this song.
Gift of the gods, good picking and singing.
Love it when you all sing.
Quickly becoming my favorite song on the new album.
I really am enjoying this new album. I like the album cover as well. It speaks for itself
Some pretty profound lyrics
The more I listen to this album, the more I wouldn't be surprised if this album is nominated for a grammy
The musicianship and creativity is so good. You guys did an outstanding job
You shouldn't be surprised, he won one already.
Never thought it would be 30 years on the day from nevermind I would finally have a record touch me as much as kudrt did. Go billy go.
Fucking brilliant! Never stop Billy!
Thank you billy,my soul needed this 💙
You and your band mates are amazing. You never cease to amaze me.. I like how you put the fiddle in the song.you always seem to come up with great lyrics too. All and all you diffenitly made your place in the music world at such a young age. Like always ,waiting to hear whats next.
I'm from California and I never thought I'd be a fan of Bluegrass, but then one day I saw Dust in a Baggie and I've been a fan of Billy ever since. I love how he's finding his own style, voice, etc.
One day
Come visit TN we have different bluegrass festivals or some kind of gatherin where they're just pickin tunes aside from what the events about...polk county TN the ramp festival they some good pickers usually there and all the ramps you can eat!
What!! Nothing better than smoking and putting airpods in and jamming to billy strings! Pacific beach La Jolla 🤘🏼🤘🏼😁
@Francis Albino maybe better
Current and future classic. There’s still great music out there… you just have to poke around. Billy’s giving us youngish folks something to look forward to for the next 50 years.
billy man you are a bob dylan of 21 century. thank you and continiue your work pls :D
Agreed! When Billy Strings is through, we'll be able to put them alongside each other.
Your music saved my life. Thanks Billy
I love story tellers and every song he writes is a beautiful story you can close your eyes and picture

Brilliant lyrics
Simply sublime!
Love it! Billy has the devil in his fingers.
You are amazing. You ALL are amazing
This is the best song on the album
Love this new record. Cant wait to see you and the band in London!
wow this is great
Billy is #1
Secrets are on my own, Secrets are my lost loves
Secrets are in my hands
Secrets are on my grass.
Secret is my old...too much old guitar.
And so I'm gonna coming to my end with my deep and sweet secrets
Beautifully written my friend!(~);}
"I'm the devil's guest of honor, and that's the best it's ever been" ~ "Sold my soul for fortune and fame". Billy, you didn't need to... God gave you your gift. Praying for you ✝️
I love this song.
Every song he sings hits home 🏡
Love that “Suzanne” chord progression
Well Well Well … It’s Billy Strings 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good stuff! Save the bears.
Outstanding
good shit brother!
My new favorite.
AMAZING...CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE YOU ON 10/14 IN DENVER
Yeehaww!!! Love you Billy
This song hit real real deep. Like wow. Talk about some mirror medicine. Simply stated and simply true. The part about a hidden love will be left only in the darkness. A bitter truth. It’s best to not breadcrumb or to be breadcrumbed. I realize the man I’ve loved for 3 years - an ex- who won’t show any interest in a relationship but one that’s quiet, hidden, behind closed doors, and only wants me in bed. How can someone take advantage of the fact someone tells you they love you and that your serious- yet they play with your heart and intelligence as if it’s a game they are unaware of?.. BILLY SAID IT ALL. Thank you billy!!!
If this doesn’t get bluegrass album of the year I’ll be surprised .
this song is so dope.
Come on back to Texas Billy!! Austin and Dallas shows were pure 👌
💜💜💜💜💜
Billy S. new wind in bluegrass🗣🤍
☮️💜
That young that gifted dam I I'm envious
Please help a brother out, what are the lyrics at the start of the chorus????
Hello walls? ...hello, wind....
How old are you really, Billy?
@Babs Wright Ancient
Billy is an old soul.

lay my secrets to the wind see you at hillberry ?
I am not qualified to make such a diagnosis but if one were to assume the character in this song were real, there are a lot of indications pointing towards a Schizoid Personality Disorder.
The devils guest is a prisoner at best.
