Drive-By Truckers - The Wig He Made Her Wear lyrics

Your rating:




It was as open and shut as anything I have seen

He was a pillar of town, his reputation was clean

It was right before Easter in the first week of spring



He didn't show up for service that Wednesday night

The congregation knew something weren't right

Blood on the bed when they opened the door

The preacher was dead on the bedroom floor



And everyone knew there had to be some outside thing

That made this happen

Because they seemed like the perfect family



He'd been shot in the back a day before he was found

His wife and three kids were nowhere around

An Amber Alert was issued in town



Everyone was shocked at the scene of the crime

She'd taken the kids across two state lines

Found her in Orange Beach with the kids in the car

Sent back to Selmer to await her trial for first-degree murder



Was she crazy or just plain old mean

To have gone and done it?

She said she heard the bang and was afraid he'd be mad

And made a run for it



Said, they were having a fight and the gun was a bluff

She didn't pull the trigger it just went off

Said that he berated her about everything

Made her do things that made her feel so ashamed



Nobody at church would ever suspect

Made her dress up slutty before they had sex

In the courtroom that day there was an audible gasp

What they put up on display the locals couldn't quite grasp



There was an audible gasp in the courtroom that day

When the defense pulled out and displayed



Them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear

Reduced her charge to voluntary manslaughter

And I ain't judging either way but she's already out of jail

And it was them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
