Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A husband's account of betrayal inside a family begins with secrecy and fear of discovery. He imagines the concealed relationships eventually becoming an unconventional shared household without further conflict. The refrain reverses from dread to relief, exposing the narrator's wish that discovery might resolve the consequences of what he has done.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
I SURE HOPE SHE DON'T FIND OUT She is my sweet Wife's little Sister When she came she called me Mister Then, I just had to kiss her And I started just to miss her She'll be comin’ ‘round again After breakfast, round ‘bout 10 In my little Hometown of Riverbend Where anything cool is a real Godsend My Wife went off to work that day And as they say, when the Cat’s away All the little Mice come out to Play It happened on a Saturday I'd been doin’ drillin’ outside of Bakersfield Then I drove a Combine in the Alabama Hills My Body was like Sunshine, I gave the Ladies chills I Love to work the outside when it's time to pay my bills I don't know what came over me, when she drove over the hill Then she was all over me, she was giving me a thrill If it hadn't been for Emily, I would be up there still I Sure Hope She Don’t Find Out What me and little Janie found out about For about a little minute, we were deep down in it Keep yourself all fit and trim, give into her every whim When she takes you around the bend, you start something that never ends While everything just Fades Away, some things will last Forever When your Wife and her little Sister turn into lifetime Lovers Right back home in Riverbend, we danced Together till the End Nothing broken, always hopin’, with no more fences we must mend In Love Forever, the only way for what started on a Saturday Maybe like a house of Mirrors where you can only see each other Everything so Crystal clear, till it's time to get on out of here Taste the Rain and feel the Thunder, no more undercover lovers I'm so Happy that She Done Found Out There was a time when I was hopin’ maybe she would come about Emily and Janie made a Home out of a House Man they look amazing in their matchin’ cotton blouse Remember when I told you I Sure Hope She Don’t Find Out I was looking for an Answer but I finally found it out Now Love and Happiness are what our Life is all about *********
